The Open Brethren Assembly

Details

The Open Brethren are a section of the Christian Brethren, an evangelical protestant church with no ordained ministers and a strong lay involvement in their activities. They originated in England and Ireland in the 1820s, and by the 1850s had spread to Australia. They do not have a central administrative body or hierarchical leadership, and their assemblies run independently of each other. In Queensland they ran the Doomadgee Aboriginal Mission and Silky Oaks Children’s Haven and its assoiciated Cottage Homes.
