Extract

The Brethren movement had its origins in the early nineteenth century in Ireland and the south of England, first appearing in Scotland in 1838. The morning meeting gave quintessential expression to the piety of the members and was central to its practice. In the 1870s a former Presbyterian who was looking for the ideal pattern of the Church witnessed his first meeting in the village of K-. Converted in the revivals of the 1860s, he was eventually to join the movement.

17 The similarity of Glasite worship and that of the Brethren was shown by the reprinting among the latter of a correspondence initiated in New York (and printed there in 1820) among churches of a primitivist type as Letters Concerning their Principles and Order from Assemblies of Believers in 1818-1820 (London, 1889). In this correspondence several Scotch Baptist churches in Scotland described their customs in terms sufficiently close to those of the Brethren to be mistaken later for an earlier form of the movement in the country by C.
