John Nelson Darby
John Nelson Darby November 18 April 29 ), British evangelist , an influential figure of the original Plymouth Brethren , forerunner of modern Christian fundamentalism John Nelson Darby was born in London of an influential family. (His middle name is for the family friend Lord Nelson). At age 19 he was a gold medalist in classical studies at Trinity College in Dublin, and embraced Christianity during his studies. He joined an "inn of court" but felt that being a lawyer was inconsistent with his religious belief, and so chose ordination as an Anglican clergyman in Ireland. (There is no evidence that he studied theology). Darby travelled extensively ministering to the poor and ignorant of Ireland. In October of 1827 Darby fell from a horse and was seriously injured. During his recuperation, he spent his time grappling with the issues of man's relationship with God. Darby decided that the Church comprised every true believer in Christ. He also came to believe that the very notion of a clergyman was an affront to the Holy Spirit working in individuals and the Church. Within a year Darby had joined with others of similar belief (Dr. Cronin, Mr Bellett and Mr. Hutchinson) to "break bread" together in Dublin.

- opens in separate window EXCLUSIVE BRETHREN Plymouth Brethren The roots of this group go back to the ministry of John Nelson Darby. JND was trained in law at Trinity College, Dublin but once converted to Christ he joined the Anglican Church in Ireland. In 1829 he joined a free Bible Study in Dublin which eventually split off from the Anglican Church. The first Brethren meeting held in Plymouth, Devon, England was in January 1832. The web pages on Plymouth Brethren (referred to as 'web1' in future) tell us that, We need to understand that at this point the group was not cultish and indeed whereas there may be differences of secondary doctrine with groups that have stayed loyal to this original vision they are not a cult. In order for us to be clear, we need to look at the early history of the creation of what can be called in broad terms 'Open Brethren' and 'Exclusive Brethren'. The early vision was to throw off, as they saw it, the trappings of 'religion' and meet without ordained ministers and carefully orchestrated meetings. Every man was encouraged to take part and the meetings were in simple places. There were no musical instruments and the breaking of bread was a simple but meaningful act.

  • We know from elsewhere that this was G. V. Wigram. This does rather seem to explode the theory of a previous meeting in Ireland.
  • No doctrinal questions are affected.
With Christian greetings, Andrew Poots. Page Top John Shields jshields@cqnet.com.au , Queensland, Australia Thu, 9 Jan, 2004 I skimmed most of the rapture article and am familiar with some of the statements concerning the sinlessness of our Lord Jesus Christ intrinsically and in deed.
  • Some would teach false doctrine like Newton's today and we should be on guard in our Assemblies because the wolves can rise up from amongst us.
  • In Christendom the 'tongues movement' with its denial of the purity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the denial of Eternal Security, and falsely claiming latter day revelations or prophetic utterances.

Sect leavers 'have mental problems'
BBC News/May 20, 2000 Children brought up within a religious sect may suffer mental problems if they leave to live in the outside community, a researcher says. Jill Mytton, a former member of a religious group called the Exclusive Brethren, questioned more than 200 other former members, asking them general questions about how they had coped with the change. And although most still felt loyalty rather than resentment towards the movement, they were suffering from a variety of other psychological symptoms. Foremost of these was a feeling of alienation from society, and a lack of interpersonal skills. Former sect members found it hard to form relationships with other people, said Ms Mytton. And up to 30% of those who had returned questionnaires would benefit from some form of counselling or other help, she said.
Strict Rules
The research was presented at a British Psychological Society meeting in Liverpool on Saturday. The Brethren movement has many different sub-groups, but Ms Mytton focused on a branch called the "Taylorites" of the Exclusive Brethren. There are thought to be approximately 27,000 in the Taylorite branch of the Exclusive Brethren worldwide.

Plymouth Brethren
General Information The name Plymouth Brethren identifies several small Christian sects of common origin - found in Britain, Europe, and the United States - that are conservative in theology and millenarian in outlook. The movement had its beginning in Ireland and England in the 1820s, Plymouth being a main center of activity. The most prominent early leader was John Nelson Darby (1800 - 82), who taught that Christ might return at any moment and in a "secret rapture" would take away the members of the true church to dwell in heaven. The polity of the Plymouth Brethren is congregational, following New Testament models. BELIEVE

In the absence of centralized authority there have been recurrent splits within the body, most notably in the Exclusive Brethren and the Open or Christian Brethren. It is estimated that their membership in the United States, where the sect has been active since the 1860s, is about 98,000. Conrad Wright Bibliography

http://www.carrick.addr.com/cbav/cbwho.html
Who are the Christian Brethren
Christian Brethren are Christians who share a range of doctrines and practices, but whose inter-relationships are not structured formally. Their congregations are autonomous; there is no central leadership or body that can direct individual congregations or persons.
The historical origins of the Brethren movement are usually traced back to the 1830s, to a group of persons from different denominations who wanted to leave their denominational traditions in order simply to celebrate their unity in Christ.
Over time, those who initially met calling themselves "brethren" maintained identifiable characteristics of doctrine and practice, and became known as the "Brethren". They continue to be both evangelical and fundamental in emphasis.
Distinctives
Those who associate themselves with the Brethren hold to the inerrancy of the Bible and its central place in guiding doctrine and practice. Nevertheless, because individual churches (very often called "assemblies" - the names "Gospel Chapel" and "Gospel Hall" are also common, and, of recent years, "Community Church") are autonomous it is impossible neatly to define Brethren doctrine or practices. And while historically many Brethren have held to certain eschatological viewpoints, for example, these have never been binding upon members of individual assemblies.
The form of the church worship (or 'communion') meeting amongst Brethren is likely to be different from most denominational churches, as Brethren have generally held strongly to a belief in the priesthood of all believers. In worship meetings, it is not a single pastor or priest who leads worship; any man (in an increasing number of Brethren assemblies, any man or woman) may lead worship by praying, reading and expounding a Bible passage, or nominating a hymn to be sung.

59. The Plymouth Brethren
In 184749 the Brethren divided, through Darby s rigidity, into Open Brethrenand exclusive brethren, the latter holding no communion with others.
http://www.victorianweb.org/religion/plymouth.html
The Plymouth Brethren
Peter Blackwell (Brown Ph.D. '88), Rhode Island School for the Deaf [blackwell@powerres.com]
he Plymouth Brethren form a small separatist denomination that emphasizes the coming millenium, or end of the world. According to Owen Chadwick's The Victorian Church , "They began first as a little extreme evangelical group in Dublin from 1827 that believed anyone may celebrate the Lord's Supper [administer Holy Communion] or preach, and received the name when the strange powerful ex- Anglican clergyman J. N. Darby went to Plymouth in 1830. In 1847-49 the Brethren divided, through Darby's rigidity, into Open Brethren and Exclusive Brethren, the latter holding no communion with others. At the best-attended services on 30 March 1851 there were in England and Wales 7,272 Brethren" (36n). Francis Newman (younger brother of John Henry , who was to become the famous Roman Catholic Cardinal Newman) had achieved first class honors in classics and mathematics at Oxford went to Dublin in 1827 to be private tutor to the household of Serjeant Pennefeather, a leading Irish lawyer. While there he met John Nelson Darby, a curate in the Church of Ireland and Pennefeather's brother-in-law. Darby had been meeting on Sundays with three other men, Dr. Edward Cronin, a convert from Roman Catholicism Francis Hutchinson, son of the Archdeacon of Killala, Sir Samuel Synge and John Gifford Bellet, a classics prizewinner from Trinity College, to "break bread" in a way they believed the early church did. Others began to join with them including, Lord Congelton, who hired an auction room for their growing Sunday meetings.
