I do, because I was there in the making of the split.
It is a long story, but it started with the Church of Christ and its narrow doctrines that most people did not want to follow literally. Well, groovy, said some younger leaders, (like Kip McKean -who I think even left the International Church-, and Marty Fuqua, and Jeff Hill, etc.), we'll just convert college aged students, expecially focusing on International students who may then go home to their own countries and start their own ministries.
It is something of a cult, but that is not to say it is probably more huge, and even more alive than the older church now is.
Whew, but what a ride that was.
