Changes

Henry Richard "H.R." Sadler is to be credited as a co-founder of the earliest open brethren assembly in Denver, [[Colorado]], and one of two of the earliest in all of Colorado. He was raised in England, and initially associated with the Exclusives.

He was born in 1861 at Barton St. Mary, Gloucester, [[England]] to farmer Henry his wife Mary Sadler. He was given an Anglican baptism on Jan. 8, 1862 at the Mariners Chapel in that same area. Henry emigrated to the U.S. in 1880, living briefly at 348 E. 84th St., New York City where he was employed as a finisher, and married his first wife in 1887. They relocated to Denver to setup a furniture manufacturing business, having interned in that industry for an uncle while a teenager. His first wife died in 1894, and he returned briefly to England, returning in 1898.

Around 1901, he broke with the exclusive brethren, and with a Mr. McIlven, co-founded ''Denver Bible Hall'', also known locally as the ''Sadler Meeting'', later known as ''Elim Hall'', which eventually merged with other assemblies to become what is now [[Lakewood Bible Chapel, CO|Lakewood Bible Chapel]].
