	Apostolic United Brethren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Apostolic United Brethren (hereafter AUB) is a polygamous fundamentalist sect not affiliated with the well-known The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		The AUB is headed by a President of the Priesthood, next in authority is a Priesthood Council (of which he is a part).
		The AUB's claims to authority are based around the accounts of John Wickersham Woolley and Lorin Calvin Woolley and others of a meeting in September 1886 between LDS Church President John Taylor, the Woolleys and others.

	Religious Movements Homepage: The Brethren
		The Brethren, officially known as the German Baptists throughout the nineteenth century (Melton, 441), mixed pietism with the Anabaptist tradition, blending a renewed emphasis on spirituality with the Anabaptist emphasis on outward expression of faith.
		As the Brethren Church grew and expanded, moving them beyond their traditional agricultural communities, and as industrialization made more "worldly" products available to everyone, they became increasingly more mainstream, and less recognizable as a distinct body.
		They follow traditional Brethren beliefs and practices: women are expected to have long hair and to wear a head covering, men are to have short hair, no musical instruments are accepted in the worship time, and of course divorce and remarriage is not allowed.

	Who are the Brethren
		The Brethren movement originated around the year 1825, although the Brethren commonly insist that their roots are really in the apostolic age, for they aim as far as possible at maintaining the simple and flexible church order of New Testament times.
		Various brethren contribute to the worship by suggesting hymns to be sung, by leading the congregation in prayer and thanks giving, or by reading and expounding a passage from the Bible.
		The various local churches are administered by responsible brethren called elders or overseers, but these have no jurisdiction outside their own local churches, and inside them they try to guide by example rather than rule by decree.

	Apostolic Christian Church Info Center, The History of the Apostolic Christian Church of America
		Apostolic Christian historian Klopfenstein tentatively identifies the Community as Anabaptists, but this is highly unlikely as all known Anabaptist groups eschewed all higher education (high school and university) and especially seminary training for their ministers because of the objectionable secular and religious teachings taught in such institutions.
		This is not to say that the Apostolic Christian Church of America did place importance on his writings, especially in the early years, however, as large numbers of Mennonites and Amish joined the church, they could not help but bring their collective memory of hundreds of years of Anabaptist heritage and theology with them.
		The Apostolic Christian World Relief organization has been active in distributing financial and material aid to those in need across the globe for many years (typical examples are famine, flood and earthquake relief, as well as assisting the poor all over the world with food and clothing donations).

	Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [Matthew XVI].
		Christ is both its Founder and its Foundation; he draws souls, and draws them to himself; to him they are united, and on him they rest and have a constant dependence.
		He doth not say, The keys shall be given, but, I will give them; for ministers derive their authority from Christ, and all their power is to be used in his name, 1 Cor.
		We must deny ourselves comparatively; we must deny ourselves for Christ, and his will and glory, and the service of his interest in the world; we must deny ourselves for our brethren, and for their good; and we must deny ourselves for ourselves, deny the appetites of the body for the benefit of the soul.

		We should be so far from slighting our brethren's sufferings that we should suffer with them, so far from envying their honours that we should rejoice with them and reckon ourselves honoured in them.
		Such were apostolical powers, compared with theirs who had only the gift of healing and miracles.
		It was a quarrel about precedency (as most quarrels among Christians are, with whatever pretences they are gilded over); and it is no wonder that a quarrel about precedence should extinguish charity.

		His research is so poor that those even marginally familiar with the LDS Church’s tenets will notice obvious misinformation which runs from the minor (the claim that Pioneer Day— essentially Utah’s founding day holiday—is the Mormons’ most important holiday) to the historic and even doctrinal.
		Notably, the author paints the LDS Church and the polygamist churches of the United Effort Plan and Apostolic United Brethren with the same large brush, propagating the misleading term “Mormon Fundamentalist” in reference to the polygamist church followers.
		The separation of the people who founded the polygamist churches from the Mormons occurred more than 110 years ago, and the differences between their practices and beliefs have had a century to diverge into radically dissimilar entities.
