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.

By 1942, the two Protestant missions in Finschhafen & Madang together claimed to have baptized over 60k adherents. The IJA occupied Madang on Dec. 18, 1942 and a week later imprisoned 19 missionaries including Paul who was serving as superintendent of the mission, as well as 18 others including 10 other Americans. By mid-1944, five had been released, eight were dead and six were unknown fate including Paul.

** 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).

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.
