Biographical / Historical

The Christian Brethren, or simply the Brethren, had its origins in Ireland in the late 1820s when groups of Anglicans and other Christians met informally to celebrate the Lord's Supper and to discuss the Bible and prophecy. The meetings were non-denominational and there were no presiding ministers or order of service. Brethrenism soon spread to England, especially Plymouth, Bristol and other towns in the west. The leaders were Anthony Grove, an Exeter dentist, John Nelson Darby, an Anglican priest, Benjamin Newton, an Oxford scholar, and George Muller, a German-born missionary. The first meeting in Plymouth took place in 1831 and by 1845 the assembly had over 1,000 people. They became known as the Plymouth Brethren.

In 1848 there was a major schism arising from a dispute between Darby, who attempted to bring about a uniformity of ideas, and Newton and Muller, who asserted the independence of each congregation. The Darbyites were called the Exclusive Brethren and their opponents were the Open Brethren. After Darby's death in 1882 there were several subsequent splits among the Exclusive Brethren. In the years after the schism itinerant preachers brought the ideas of both the Exclusive Brethren and the Open Brethren to the British colonies, the United States and a few European countries.

It is difficult to date precisely the beginnings and spread of Brethrenism in Australia and New Zealand, mainly because it consisted of gatherings of laymen, with no centralised hierarchy. There were certainly both Open and Exclusive groups operating in Melbourne in the 1850s, while an assembly was established near Nelson in New Zealand in 1863. In the other colonies assemblies emerged in the 1870s and 1880s, or even later. In 1888, for instance, it was reported that there were eight assemblies in Sydney and three in Newcastle, while in Queensland there were three assembles in Brisbane and at least seven assemblies in provincial centres. The formation of these assemblies was often due to the influence of overseas preachers, some of who remained in the colonies for years. John Nelson Darby himself visited Sydney and Melbourne in 1876. Charles Perrin came from Dublin in 1866 and worked in Melbourne and later in Tasmania and New Zealand. Walter Douglas, an American, also arrived in Melbourne in 1866, having previously toured New Zealand. Other evangelists included William Brown and Edward Moyse in the 1860s, Harrison Ord and Thomas Manders in the 1870s, and George Grove and Frank Brewster in the 1880s.
