After World War I, the Oxford SCM was reestablished under that name, but those who held OICCU's original doctrinal position established a separate "Oxford University Bible Union". In 1925 the two agreed to merge, and the OUBU became the "Devotional Union of the Student Christian Movement in Oxford". However, the merger was not successful and in Michaelmas 1927, the Devotional Union committee voted to secede. The SCM gave them permission to use the old (1879) name and so OICCU was born anew, adopting the Doctrinal Basis of the new Inter-Varsity Fellowship of Evangelical Unions (now UCCF) in 1928.
