Abbreviation guide: '''OB''' (& '''TW-P''') are Gospel Halls, Bible Chapels and others within the "open brethren" (although Gospel Halls (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels, and typically prefer a letter of commendation from those visiting from other Halls, practicing guarded reception particularly with regard to breaking bread). Visitors are generally welcomed to observe. '''EB/TW/TW-N/NT/RR/G-A/KLC''', etc., are "Careful" or "Closed" (sometimes known as "exclusive") brethren (similar in practice on reception to OB Gospel Halls, expecting a letter of commendation). '''PBCC''' is a different type of "exclusive" also initially known as "Ravenites" or "Park Street Brethren" with a considerably more selective process for inclusion.
An '''IBC''' (generally) is an independent community or a "Bible Church" (hence the "BC") fellowships with early or indirect PB influence, and likely does not wish to be considered "Brethren". '''OB BC''' is an independent bible church that retains more than usual of its early brethren influence or practices, or observation of its heritage. See [[Branches of Plymouth Brethren]] for a more detailed list. PP "Residency" indicates no meeting but rather a residing brother or sister, and stands for "Preaching Point".
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 gatherings, and would generally abhor denominational titling or language.
