From BrethrenPedia
added 1978 OB
The goal is a complete list of every gathering that has existed in a province (or state) that has roots (or definite influence from) within any branch of the Brethren movement. If an assembly has changed in affiliation/format, that is noted with the abbreviation in parentheses, if known. In the examples where nothing is listed next to an era, it should be presumed it maintained the same affiliation as prior or subsequent.
* (OB): Open Brethren: As opposed to the Closed or Exclusive Brethren. May refer to Chapels, Halls, or other types of names of churches that retain Brethren flavor (whether "loose" (open table) or "tight" or a blend(guarded table)to visitors.* (BC): Bible Church: These are churches that are evangelical in nature, but with no recognizable traits or distinctives that it in being associated (in that era) with with the Brethren movement, and a majority of its constituency may be unaware of its background.* (EB): As a generic term belonging to the Exclusive (and/or closed) Brethren, but thought prior to the PBCC, TW, KLC or other various nameable splits. Or in some cases, of unknown branch affiliation, but known to have been Exclusive.* (TW): Tunbridge Wells closed brethren network that split in 1908/-1909 from what was once from Natural History Hall and/or Reading and/or Park StreetSt.* (PBCC): Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, an Exclusive group initially (post-Darby) network led by Raven, then Taylor Sr.Stoney, Taylors, Taylor Jr.Symington, and presently Hales. * More initials forthcoming when as relevant to this list. See [[Assemblies Worldwide]] for a more complete exhaustive list of historic branches possible.
* If a link is in RED, no page has been developed for the assembly yet, and history is forthcoming. If it is in BLUE, you may click on it for further info. Hyperlinks are generally reserved for the last known name of the assembly (with the inclusion of former names with years known as, includedand/or AKA).
* Years listed are approximate (where known). Sources include assembly address lists, ministry magazines, oral testimony, etc. A plus sign suggests future years (or past) to be verified. "2019+" indicates presumed present existence. Lacking a plus sign in either direction indicates known beginning or end dates.
* Two years Years with a slash may indicate what year Gospel work initiated, with the subsequent being the year the assembly broke bread. Some start dates in bold suggest further research, or highlight special accolades. +1878 suggests (but not yet known) earlier start date but records unavailable, desiring welcoming further research.
