The Exclusive Brethren is a Christian sect that emerged in the 19th century as a part of the wider Plymouth Brethren movement. They emphasize a strict interpretation of the Bible and maintain a separation from the outside world, believing that they are the true followers of Christ. Members often live in close-knit communities and prioritize their faith above all else. This group practices a form of worship that includes regular meetings and communal living. They typically avoid interactions with non-members and discourage participation in secular activities, which they view as corrupting. The Exclusive Brethren are known for their distinctive beliefs and practices, which set them apart from mainstream Christianity.
