Cane Ridge Meeting House is a historic church building on Cane Ridge in Paris, Kentucky built in 1791. It is one of the oldest church buildings in Kentucky and the largest one room log structure. The church was the site of a large frontier Christian revival in 1801 hosted by the local Presbyterian congregation that met in the building. Nearly 10,000 people attending. According to the museum "()n 1804, a small group of Presbyterian ministers from Kentucky and Ohio... penned and signed a document, "The Last Will and Testament of the Springfield Presbytery", at Cane Ridge that resulted in the birth of a movement seeking unity among Christians along non-sectarian lines. They would call themselves simply "Christians. The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Churches of Christ (non-instrumental), and the Christian Churches (independent) of the Stone-Campbell movement trace their origins here. This movement is often noted as the first one indigenous to American soil."〔http://www.caneridge.org/ (viewed Sept. 28, 2010)〕 In the 1930s a stone building was constructed around the original log structure. The church is still used for worship. ==Images== File:Cane Ridge Meeting House Interior.JPG|Interior of the original meeting house at Cane Ridge, Kentucky File:Cane Ridge Meeting House Memorial Building.JPG|The Memorial building built over the original Cane Ridge Meeting House File:Cane Ridge Meeting House, Little Rock Road, Paris vicinity (Bourbon County, Kentucky).jpg|Cane Ridge Meeting House in 1934, Little Rock Road, Paris vicinity (Bourbon County, Kentucky) File:Barton Stone Grave 46.JPG | Grave of Barton Stone 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cane Ridge Meeting House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
