Religion Timeline

Evangelist John O’Kane arrives in the city to organize the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation as a Campbellite group. Local Protestant churches refuse O’Kane entry into their buildings, fearing he will sway their congregants to the Christian fusion movement. The congregation builds its first house of worship, known as Christian Chapel, on Kentucky Avenue in 1836.
