Orphan date April 2009 Intro missing date September 2009 Unity of the Brethren The Unity of the Brethren today has beliefs far from what they originally believed. Their original doctrines can be found in the early accounts of the book compilation Net of Faith . This book records all the important doctrinal advancements the Unity of the Brethren had during its formative years. In 1490, The Edict of Brand s allowed community members to hold public office and opened the door to further reforms of the social policy of the Unitas. Furthermore, many of them made alliances with the Hussites and in the long run resulted to the formation of what is now known as the Moravian Church Moravians . They changed a lot of their doctrines to lessen the persecution they are experiencing from both the Catholic and Protestant churches. Minor and the Major Party However, a few of them believed that these reforms were inaccurate. They stood up for the original doctrines and later they were called as the Minor Party separating themselves from the Major Party, those who accepted the reforms. The Minor Party believed that they are the only ones who followed the Net of Faith . Beliefs of the Minor Party 1 They believe that the term minister must not be limited to those who finished a course on theology or ministry or to those ordained by the clergy. They believe that all Christians must be considered ministers. 2 They avoid holding any public offices. They don t participate in politics and the military. 3 They preach God s word from house to house, though this was severely observed during their times because of persecution. 4 They believe that images should not be used in worship. 5 They believe that Purgatory is a wrong teachings. 6 They consider Bible as the only basis of faith.

Loose Brethren is a disparaging term sometimes used to identify the Open Brethren assemblies within the Plymouth Brethren movement which hold to a more open policy of reception to Communion Bible Chapel Brethren , in contrast to the more conservative and often more traditional Gospel Hall Brethren sometimes called Tight Brethren . These assemblies are also sometimes referred to as Wide Opens , although there are varying degrees of policy with regard to reception to Communion within the Bible Chapel Brethren . Reception is generally on the basis of the biblical understanding of the one body of Christ , but it ranges in practice from those that will receive believers from Bible Chapels and Gospel Halls with a letter of commendation only, to those that see the Lord s Table for Communion as completely open. This is in contrast to the teaching of the Gospel Hall Open Brethren that reception to the Lord s Table for Communion is based on assembly fellowship. The term Loose Brethren also has a wider application encompassing a conservative approach to church life and a greater regulation of church order than those assemblies deemed tight . For example their historical use of musical instruments, singers, interdenominational preaching and nowadays to their greater toleration of innovation women not wearing head coverings, resident full time workers or pastors , family services, praise bands, PowerPoint, female participation etc. etc. All of which, of course, are cause of criticism from the more traditional.

The Social Brethren is a small body of evangelical Christianity Christians located in the Midwestern United States and the Philippines . The Social Brethren originated in Saline County, Illinois in 1867. Frank Wright and Hiram T. Brannon were among those who led in the founding of this denomination. The major impetus behind the formation of the Social Brethren was the desire to heal the division in churches over the issue of slavery. They believed that Christians who held to the fundamental teaching of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ should fellowship one another, regardless of their views on slavery. They considered anything more to be political preaching , which they still reject. The leaders came from Baptist , Presbyterian , and Methodist backgrounds. The church doctrine and polity is a blend of the doctrine and polity of those churches. The ordinances are baptism and The Lord s Supper the Lord s supper . The Social Brethren reject infant baptism, but allow a candidate to choose between immersion, pouring, or sprinkling. Immersion appears to be used in the majority of cases. Their beliefs include affirmation of the Trinity that the Bible contains all things necessary to salvation and spiritual life that salvation is through Jesus alone the possibility of apostasy the right of voting and free speech for the laity and the impropriety of political preaching . By 1890, they had grown to 20 churches with 913 members. Currently there are over 1,000 members in 29 congregations. In 1983, there were 26 churches with 1165 members in Illinois , Indiana , and Michigan , as well as eight churches and a mission point in the Philippines. There are three associations that meet annually. The general assembly meets biennially.
