The Exclusive Brethren are a part of the Christian Evangelical religious movement generally described as the Plymouth Brethren. They are distinguished from the Open Brethren from whom they separated in 1848. The Exclusive Brethren are also described as Connexional Brethren, as they recognise an obligation to recognize and adhere to the disciplinary actions of other associated assemblies, and the Darbyites after John Nelson Darby, one of the early Brethren leaders who brought about the rift with the Open Brethren. The Exclusive Brethren are found throughout Europe and the English speaking world.
