Brethren, Plymouth
.

A movement within Christianity, so-called from the location of its first tract depot in England, although it had been founded previously in Ireland (1828). An early leader was J. N. Darby (1800–82). It sought to establish life and the Church on Biblical, especially New Testament, principles, and laid emphasis on the
millennium
and on separation from evil. There have been a number of divisions, notably between the Open and the Exclusive Brethren.
