Christadelphians
The Christadelphians are a millenarian Christian group who hold a view of Biblical Unitarianism. There are approximately 50,000 Christadelphians in around 120 countries.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/subdivisions/christadelphians_1.shtml〕 The movement developed in the United Kingdom and North America in the 19th century around the teachings of John Thomas, who coined the name ''Christadelphian''〔'The Christadelphians, or brethren in Christ...The very name 'Christadelphian' was coined by the founder of the movement, John Thomas, at the time of the American Civil War principally to provide a distinctive nomenclature for the use of the civil authorities () At the time of the American Civil War, Thomas coined a name for his followers: Christadelphian -- brethren in Christ. The exigencies of the situation in which the civil authorities had sought to impress men into the armed forces had accelerated the tendency for those religious bodies objecting to military service to become ore definite in their teaching and conditions of membership.' Bryan R. Wilson, ''Sects and Society'' (London: William Heinemann, 1961), p. 219, 238〕〔'Christadelphians (or ''Brethren in Christ'')...Congress had exempted from war service the members of any religious body which was conscientiously opposed to bearing arms. In order to go upon record in a manner that would secure this exemption, the name () was adopted and certified to by Dr. Thomas, in August or September, 1864.' 'Christadelphians' in John McClintock and James Strong, ''Cyclopedia of Biblical, theological, and ecclesiastical literature'' Supplement, Volume 1 (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1889), p. 937〕 from the Greek for "Brethren in Christ".〔Thomas preferred the name ''Brethren in Christ'', but settled on ''Christadelphian''. He once wrote in a letter, "I did not know a better denomination that would be given to such a class of believers, than ''Brethren in Christ''. This declares their true status; and, as officials prefer words to phrases, the same fact expressed in another form by the word Christadelphians, or ''Christou Adelphoi'', Christ's Brethren. This matter settled to their (the civil authorities' ) satisfaction ... " ().〕〔'...conscientious objectors had to demonstrate membership in a recognized religious group that prohibited participation in war activity...Hence in 1864, Thomas settled on the name "Christadelphian" (from the Greek for "Brethren in Christ") in order that his adherents might provide the necessary credentials for exemption from military service.' Charles H. Lippy, ''The Christadelphians in North America'' (Edwin Mellen Press, 1989), p. 52〕〔Vincent L. Milner, Hannah Adams ''Religious denominations of the world'' 1875 "CHRISTADELPHIANS. (BRETHREN OF CHRIST.) The distinctive name Christadelphian is derived from two Greek words — Christos (Christ) and Adelphos (brother) — and has been chosen as a fit representation of the intimate spiritual connection ....2, "To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ."〕
Basing their beliefs solely on the Bible, Christadelphians differ from mainstream Christianity in a number of doctrinal areas. For example, they reject the Trinity and the immortality of the soul, believing these to be corruptions of original Christian teaching. They were initially found predominantly in the developed English-speaking world, but expanded in developing countries after the Second World War. Congregations traditionally are referred to as 'ecclesias' and would not use the word "church" due to its association with mainstream Christianity, although today it is more acceptable.〔http://www.christadelphianresearch.com/achristadelphianchurch.htm〕
