		The Exclusive Brethren are a breakaway from the Plymouth Brethren, a group which originated in Dublin, but formed its first congregation in Plymouth in 1831.
		The origins of the Plymouth Brethren were essentially informal, with a desire to return to the simplicity of apostolic days and worship, and to break down the walls that divided Christians.
		From 1848 the Brethren became two distinct groups, the mainstream of the movement (Open Brethren) maintaining its original principles, while the Darbyist group (Exclusive Brethren) became increasingly centralised in government and separatist in relation to other Christians.

		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.

		Although it may be an over-simplification, 'exclusive' brethren applies to those who are no longer walking in practical fellowship with 'open' brethren since a separation in the late 1840's.
