This Burmah Road Gospel Hall is located beside Him Heang Building and the same row as Seventh Day Adventist Church. A conservative bible believing denomination or Pentecostal or Protestant Christian Church believers. Background The Brethren movement began in Dublin in the late 1820s with a group of men (John Nelson Darby, Anthony Norris Groves, John Bellett, Edward Cronin and Francis Hutchinson) who felt that the established Church had become too involved with the secular state and abandoned many of the basic truths of Christianity. The Exclusive Brethren The Exclusive Brethren are an Evangelical Protestant Christian church distinct from the Christian or Open Brethren. Members follow a rigid code of conduct based very strictly on Bible teaching, which provides a firm moral framework and is focussed on a strong family unit. They keep themselves separate from other people (including other Christians) as far as possible, because they believe the world is a place of wickedness. They regard 'exclusiveness' as the only way to keep away from evil. The main group of Exclusive Brethren is called 'Taylorites' after James Taylor Senior and Junior who led the church for much of the twentieth century. Most of the information available about the group comes from people who have left it. As a result the Exclusive Brethren often gets a bad press and is referred to using phrases like "an exclusive and secret religious sect" or "a secretive church". There are thought to be approximately 43,000 (2008 figure) in the Taylorite branch of the Exclusive Brethren worldwide. There are up to 16,000 Exclusive Brethren in Britain, with congregations throughout the country. Structure The Exclusive Brethren is not a democratic movement, nor do individual congregations have any autonomy. For most of the last 100 years, it has been ruled by a series of single individuals. This is different to the Open or Christian Brethren, whose churches are largely independent. Lifestyle Like many closed groups, the Exclusive Brethren provide a warm, loving, family-centred way of life to its members that most find fulfilling and rewarding. The intention is to provide a safe way of life that protects members from the corrupt world outside. Criticisms Members who leave or are expelled from the group have, in the past, often been avoided by current members. Critics have described this practise as cruel. Leavers are avoided by members of the group because they are seen as having chosen the world and the devil against God and because they could bring members into contact with the sinful world. Until recently (early 2002) Brethren who left the church were completely ostracised. Members would not speak, eat or live with those who had left and this caused families to break up. Since many Exclusive Brethren work in Brethren-owned companies they have to give up their jobs as well as their family and their home if they leave the faith. Recent developments Addressing the frequently asked question, "Do the Brethren break up families?" on their website, the Brethren reply: "The Brethren as a group hate the break up of families. However adherence to the doctrine of separation prevents normal relations between family members when one of them leaves the fellowship. Where family breakdown occurs this is always tragic, however this usually occurs when sin brings in irreconcilable difference."
