THE EXCLUSIVE BRETHREN

When was the sect founded?
The collective movement began in Dublin in 1827 by John Nelson Darby, from Count Wicklow, Ireland. He was within a group of men; Anthony Norris Groves, John Bellett, Edward Cronin and Francis Hutchinson, who believed that the Church wasn’t practising the basic truths of Christianity. They left the Established Church in order to carry out in their original purity, what they thought, the Holy Scriptures asked of them.

The sect is sometimes referred to as The Plymouth Brethren because the first Brethren assembly was recognized in 1831 in Plymouth, England.

The Plymouth Brethren split into two separate brethren’s in 1848 when George Muller disagreed with John Nelson Darby's view of the relationship between local assemblies. This disagreement was brought about when a member, who had been dismissed from one fellowship, was

After Judgement Day, they will be granted salvation. Others may believe that the strict rules portray the lack of confidence they have in their followers and they thrive off questioning the loyalty of their members.

How is the official teaching of the sect passed on?
Exclusive Brethren parents teach their children what is expected within the Brethren through showing them and by the word of mouth. The Man of God will sometimes preach to those who are not fully understanding of the official teachings. Because they are separated from the world, it is difficult to learn how they are to behave as we receive information from those who are expelled or have left the Church, therefore the ‘facts’ are from those embedded with hatred for the sect.

    Bradford served thirty one-year terms as governor of the fledgling colony between 1622 and 1656. He enjoyed remarkable discretionary powers as chief magistrate, acting as high judge and treasurer as well as presiding over the deliberations of the General Court, the legislature of the community. In 1636 he helped draft the colony’s legal code. Under his guidance Plymouth never became a Bible commonwealth like its larger and more influential neighbor, the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Relatively tolerant of dissent, the Plymouth settlers did not restrict the franchise or other civic privileges to church…

    William Bradford’s sourcebook on Plymouth and John Winthrop’s model of government for the Massachusetts Bay Colony both indicate the theocracy behind these two settlements, but also the well organization of government. This vast difference is clearly indicated by comparing the setting up of a government in Plymouth and Jamestown. Plymouth was governed in accordance with the terms of the famous "Mayflower Compact," an agreement binding all to conform to the will of the majority. This agreement was established well before their landing on the colony. However, in the case of the Jamestown settlement no prior agreement between the settlers is accounted for. In their case, the orders of government and the governor were not declared until the settlers’ arrival in Virginia. This indicates that the common values and goals behind the Pilgrims is what aided them in times of hardships and despair. Although discontent and mutinous speeches were sometimes accounted for in the early beginnings of the Plymouth settlements as indicated in Winthrop’s records; the problems were dealt with and the unity was almost always secured. This is in contrast to the feuding leaders and gross mismanagement that is accounted for in the records of John Smith.…

    The English colonization of the Americas resulted in a wide variety of ideas and concepts. Although each settlement was under the name of English, they all differ in some regions of the structure. Jamestown and Plymouth, two of the earliest successful colonies, share certain similarities, however, there are major differences, especially in their political, economic, religious and social configuration. Established on May 14, 1607, Jamestown, located on the banks of the James River, is the first permanent English settlement in North America. On the verge of failure, the production of modern day tobacco saves this settlement. Unlike Jamestown created with the aim of acquiring land, Plymouth Colony in 1620 was formed by a group of religious dissenters,…

    First off, their leaders were different in their own way. They each handled things differently than one another and each had their own personalities. Smith bragged about his colony and himself most of the time while Bradford was more humble and was a ‘man of the people.’ In Jamestown everyone seemed to be on their own while Plymouth seemed to be more of a community who helped each other. Jamestown had the poor work on environmental struggles while the upper class had it easy. Plymouth was mainly the poor and were often in families. Now of course they came for different intentions; The colonists from Jamestown came for economic purposes, to make money, whereas the colonists from Plymouth came here for religious reasons. It was ‘predestined’ as they say, it was God’s will. Jamestown didn’t really get along with the Natives so much. It was so bad that John Rolfe married Pocahontas, the Chief's daughter to ease tensions between the colonists and the Native Americans. Plymouth however, had a pretty good relationship with the Natives and they helped each other out and even signed a peace treaty with…

    Since, there was much talk about these preachers amongst the colonies, people from far away colonies would travel long distances & also unite together to listen to the gospel. Amongst these gatherings, friendships, & relationships were surely built. In 1739, Benjamin Franklin had once witnessed a gathering, he stated “The multitudes of all sects and denominations that attended his sermons were enormous, and it was matter of speculation to me, who was one of the number…” These colonists who had the same believes, spread the trend over more colonies, which would eventually lead to the unification of…

    These settlers were the well-known Pilgrims, the settlers who sailed on the Mayflower. This group was led by a William Bradford, who assisted in the development of the Mayflower Compact and also wrote a detailed journal now titled "History of Plymouth Plantation," which offers a first-person account of the Pilgrims' journey to the New World and the early years of their colony. The Pilgrims were considered to be Separatists, which was a sect of Puritanism. The difference between them and John Winthrop's Puritans was that the Puritans believed that the Church of England was true to the Bible, while the Pilgrims thought that being a member of the Church of England was a violation of the Bible. However, there were also some differences between the Puritans' and the Pilgrims' religious motivation behind journeying to the New World. While the Puritan motives are stated above, the Pilgrims' intentions were to create a new society with a church that was free of corruption (unlike the Church of England) and appealed to their religious beliefs. They wanted to create their own utopia, starting with religious freedom. Therefore, the main difference between the Puritans' motivation and the Pilgrims' motivation for traveling to the New World is that the Pilgrims were determined to create their own church, free of flaws, while the Puritans…
