Jaenen quotes an unnamed source that said “The Disciples of Christ have concluded that it is impossible to restore the primitive church and the attempt to do so in the nineteenth century was ‘an impossible search for an illusion’” (505) - maybe the citation is at the bottom of page 506 "David Lipscomb, “The Churches across the Mountains” Gospel Advocate, No. 39 (7 January 1897), p. 4; Alfred T. DeGroot, “The Grounds of Division among the Disciples of Christ (Chicago: Private printing, 1940), pp. 4-8, 92, 184; C Leonard Allen et al., “The Worldly Church” (Abilene: Abilene Christian University Press, 1988), passim
