Editing Open Brethren (section)

=== United Kingdom ===
Along with other evangelical churches in the United Kingdom, the Brethren have been declining in numbers since the 1950s, especially among the more conservative assemblies. Assemblies with more progressive approaches have grown, however. There has been a blurring of distinctions between some assemblies and other non-denominational and house church congregations.<ref>G.Brown. "Whatever Happened to the Brethren?"
