See [[Branches of Plymouth Brethren]] to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall [[History]]. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data.

** Florence Madalyane Campbell (1912-1935) of Eldon, IA, born again on Sept. 6, 1933. L&L 1935-4: "Some years ago she fell and injured her spine, and as a result was either in bed or in a wheeled chair continually. After being saved it can be said of her "she hath done what she could" by mounting Gospel texts that are being used by missionaries in this country and foreign lands as well. These small texts will continue to tell others of the Savior Who died for her and with Whom she now is." She was a daughter of Walter M. Campbell (b. 1871 Pike Co., IL - d. 1940 Eldon, IA) & Emma M. Whetsell Campbell (b. 1886 Marshalltown, IA - d. 1965 Eldon, IA). Walter was self-employed as a trucker (teamster).

Vedder of North Dakota pastored the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Audubon 1907-1909; He was born in 1854 in Niskayuna, Schenectady, [[New York]], and died in 1918 in [[Pennsylvania]]. He was the son of Alexander Vedder (1819-1901 NY) & Catharine Healey Vedder (1821-1893 NY). Peter's ancestor, Harman Albertse Vedder (b. 1635 Beverwijik, Holland - d. 1715 Schenectady, NY) was a pioneer settler of Albany, N.Y., as well as Schenectady, emigrating prior to 1657, according to ''History of the Schenectady Patent'', originally shared by F.

Latest revision as of 10:59, 12 May 2025

See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.
