Various other, smaller religious groups also claim a common heritage in the StoneCampbell Restoration Movement. 11. This number represents a sum of the estimated total number of members of Churches of Christ (1.6 million in the United States), Independent Christian Churches/ Churches of Christ (approximately 1 million, mainly in the United States), and the Disciples of Christ (roughly 700,000 in the United States and Canada). Because of the congregational governance of these churches, estimates on numbers tend to vary, and the estimates on numbers outside the United States are not entirely reliable. Data on the membership in the Churches of Christ and the Independent Christian Churches in the United States can be found at the Hartford Seminary Institute for Religion Research website, at http://hirr. hartsem.edu/research/fastfacts/fast_facts.thml#lasrgest. Data on the worldwide membership in the Churches of Christ can be found at the official website of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), at www.disciples.org/AboutTheDisciples/TheDisciplesToday/tabid/ 68/Default.aspx. 12.
