A list of Christian
assemblies or independent churches
(commonly known as the Christian brethren)
in the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern
Ireland and the Irish Republic
This is
simply an address list of local churches in the UK which aim to
live by New Testament principles. It is not a copy of anyone
elses list, and is certainly not exhaustive. Inclusion in this
list does not imply any commendation on my part, though I will
try to check out as much of the information as I can.
I am aware that there are formal organisations out on the WWW
attempting to list local churches, however, many assemblies are
wary of compromising their autonomy and independence by
associating with organisations. Hopefully, however, being
included on my informal, unofficial web page won't be seen in the
same way.
If you'd like to add details of assemblies you are familiar
with please e-mail me, quoting any URL if available:
andyabel@gmail.com
Where possible I would like to include a contact e-mail address
with each entry, so please indicate on any e-mail as to whether
you are willing to be the contact. Thanks.
Note: in the USA the Christian brethren are known as the
Plymouth Brethren - this is not a term we use in the UK since the
term 'Plymouth Brethren' is a separate group that some consider
to be a sect.
Whilst these days many assemblies in the UK diverge from these
practices, the aim should always be to maintain a simple, New
Testament church approach to all we do.
