Delhi Brotherhood Society
The Delhi Brotherhood Society has its origin in the Cambridge Mission to Delhi, an 1877 Anglican church mission to India established by graduates of Cambridge University. Guided by Bishop and Regius Professor of Divinity Brooke Westcott and under the leadership of Rev. Edward Bickersteth the missionaries lived in a quasi-monastic community that came to be known as the Cambridge Brotherhood.〔C. M. Millington, “Whether We Be Many or Few”: A History of the Cambridge/Delhi Brotherhood, Bangalore (Asian Trading Corporation), 1999〕 Responding to an invitation to start a college in Delhi the Cambridge Brotherhood established in 1881 what became known as St. Stephen’s College, Delhi.〔Monk, F.F., A History of St. Stephen's College, Delhi, Calcutta (YMCA), 1935.〕 It is now one of the leading and most prestigious university colleges in India. In 1885, they also contributed to found St. Stephen’s Hospital, the oldest and one of the largest private hospitals in Delhi.

With changing times the Brothers stood up to respond to the reality of poverty around them. They extended their service towards the betterment of the poor and the downtrodden. Members like C. F. Andrews took an active role in the plight of workers especially in exposing the evils of indentured labour, as well as in the Indian Independence Movement. This earned him the title of honour ‘Deenabandhu’ (“Friend of the poor”) from Mahatma Gandhi to whom he was a close friend.〔Tinker, H., The Ordeal of Love: C.F. Andrews and India, Oxford (Oxford University Press), 1979.〕 (Rev. Ian Weathrall ), the last British member of the Church of North India's Delhi Brotherhood (died 30 April 2013, aged 91) helped a group of leprosy patients to regain their dignity in society by helping them to become economically independent. Rev. James Stuart contributed volumes of scholarly work for the ISPCK and was closely associated with Swami Abhishiktananda, a pioneer in interreligious dialogue.
