The post-war, and post-reunions, period saw an increase in co-operation and interaction between ecclesias, resulting in the establishment of a number of week-long Bible schools and the formation of national and international organisations such as the Christadelphian Bible Mission ( for preaching and pastoral support overseas ), the Christadelphian Support Network ( for counselling ), and the Christadelphian Meal-A-Day Fund ( for charity and humanitarian work ).

According to Bryan Wilson, functionally the definition of a " fellowship " within Christadelphian history has been mutual or unilateral exclusion of groupings of ecclesias from the breaking of bread.

One criticism of the Christadelphian movement has been over the claim of John Thomas and Robert Roberts to have " rediscovered " scriptural truth.

Eyre's research has been criticized by some of his Christadelphian peers, and as a result Christadelphian commentary on the subject was subsequently more cautious and circumspect, with caveats being issued concerning Eyre's claims, and the two books less used and publicized than in previous years.

Over the last 100 years some mainstream Christian theologians and Biblical scholars have gradually been developing beliefs which the Christadelphian community has historically held.

This trend has also seen the emergence of some Christadelphian bands and the establishment of the Christadelphian Arts Trust to support performing, visual and dramatic arts within the Christadelphian community.

It has been noted that Christadelphian hymnody has historically been a consistent witness to Christadelphian beliefs, and that hymnody occupies a significant role in the community.

At the same time, common participation by CGAF and Christadelphian members on discussion forums has helped to make many Christadelphians, even outside North America, aware of the common beliefs shared with CGAF, and the differences with CoGGC.

Kemps Creek has five schools, Kemps Creek Primary, Christadelphian Heritage College Sydney both located on Cross Street, and Mamre Anglican School, Trinity Catholic Primary and Emmaus Catholic College located on Bakers Lane to the north.

The area has a proliferation of churches, including the Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic ( including Our Lady of Good Counsel, designed by noted Modern architects Gillespie, Kidd & Coia ), Baptist, Salvation Army, independent Evangelical churches, Plymouth Brethren, Charismatic, one Scottish Episcopal Church and a Christadelphian presence.

The most notable Christadelphian attempts to find a continuity of those with doctrinal similarities since that point have been geographer Alan Eyre's two books The Protesters ( 1975 ) and Brethren in Christ ( 1982 ) in which he shows that many individual Christadelphian doctrines had been previously believed.

Another publication, the " Worship " book is a compilation of songs and hymns that have been composed only by members of the Christadelphian community.

CGAF members have been invited to submit both articles, letters and event announcements in the Christadelphian Tidings, and likewise Christadelphians in the Abrahamic Faith Beacon.

* The state of the dead: The majority of standard scholarly Jewish and Christian sources today describe the state of the dead in terms identical or very close to the Christadelphian view.

Most of the churches use the Christadelphian hymnal and Sunday School literature.

Through a process of creed setting and division the Christadelphian movement emerged with a distinctive set of doctrines incorporating Adventism, anti-trinitarianism, the belief that God is a " substantial and corporeal " being, objection to military service, a lay-membership with full participation by all members, and other doctrines consistent with the spirit of the Restorationist movement.

His studies during this period of his life generated the foundation for many of the beliefs he came to espouse as a Christadelphian and he began to believe that the basis of knowledge before baptism was greater than the Restoration Movement believed and also that widely held orthodox Christian beliefs were blatantly wrong.

The history of this process appears in the book Dr. Thomas, His Life and Work ( 1873 ) by a Christadelphian, Robert Roberts.

In Germany the small Christadelphian community founded by Albert Maier went underground from 1940 – 1945, and a leading brother, Albert Merz, was imprisoned as a conscientious objector and later executed.

Inter-ecclesial organisations co-ordinate the running of, among other things, Christadelphian schools and elderly care homes, the Christadelphian Isolation League ( which cares for those prevented by distance or infirmity from attending an ecclesia regularly ) and the publication of Christadelphian magazines.

In this way, Eyre was able to demonstrate substantial historical precedents for individual Christadelphian teachings and practices, and believed that the Christadelphian community was the ' inheritor of a noble tradition, by which elements of the Truth were from century to century hammered out on the anvil of controversy, affliction and even anguish '.

This was replaced only five years later by the first " Christadelphian Hymn Book " ( 1869 ), compiled by J. J. and A. Andrew, and this was revised and expanded in 1874, 1932 and 1964.

A thorough revision by the Christadelphian Magazine and Publishing Association resulted in the latest ( 2002 ) edition which is almost universally used by English-speaking Christadelphian ecclesias.

A further magazine, Faith Alive !, for older teens and young people is produced by The Christadelphian.

There is also a Christadelphian Ecclesia in Linden, as well as a traditional Catholic chapel, run by priests from the Society of St. Pius X, who are based in Wanganui.

Despite success in reuniting large sections of the wider Christadelphian community and periodic efforts at reuniting smaller offshoots, there are still a number of groups who remain separate from other bodies of Christadelphians.

Some Christadelphian groups which are separated to a greater or lesser degree from the main body of Christadelphians use statements of faith which differ in some regard from the BASF and from each other.

Due to the way the Christadelphian body is organised there is no central authority to establish and maintain a standardised set of beliefs and it depends what statement of faith is adhered to and how liberal the ecclesia is, but there are core doctrines most Christadelphians would accept.

* John Thomas ( Christadelphian ) ( 1805 – 1871 ), British Christian theologian, and founder of the Christadelphians

The Gathering receives a large contingent of both Unamended Christadelphians and Amended Christadelphians each year, and likewise many CGAF members attend Christadelphian events such as the annual Great Lakes Christadelphian Bible School.

Although the grouping which later took the name " Christadelphian " had largely separated from the Campbellite movement in Scotland and America after 1848, it was conscription in the American Civil War which caused their local church in Ogle County, Illinois to register as conscientious objectors in 1863 under the name " Christadelphians.

Modern Christadelphians generally believe he was right and adhere to the positions he established as defined within the Christadelphian statements of faith ; Christadelphians feel, too, that Thomas ' example of an inquiring attitude is also an important legacy.

Robert Roberts was certain that John Thomas had rediscovered the truth, and it is largely down to Roberts ' organisation that the Christadelphian body exists in its present form.

Many ecclesias in the " Central " grouping would not refuse a baptised Christadelphian from a minority " fellowship " from breaking bread ; the exclusion is more usually the other way.

Today the Christadelphian body remains divided into " fellowships " ( of which in the UK it is estimated that there are 23 ), the largest being the Central fellowship, named after the now-defunct Birmingham Central ecclesia, once its largest and most influential ecclesia.

The relative uniformity of organisation and practice is undoubtedly due to the influence of a booklet, written early in Christadelphian history, called A Guide to the Formation and Conduct of Christadelphian Ecclesias.

Correspondence courses are also used widely, particularly in areas where there is no established Christadelphian presence.

Christadelphian hymnody makes considerable use of the hymns of the Anglican and British Protestant traditions ( even in US ecclesias the hymnody is typically more British than American ).

The Christadelphian Sunday School Union ( CSSU ) is an organisation which provides lessons, books, magazines and other services for Christadelphian Sunday schools and youth groups.

It is a common practice for members of the Church of the Blessed Hope ( CGAF ) to seek out Christadelphian ecclesias when they move to areas where there is not a Church of the Blessed Hope.

The name " Christadelphian " was chosen as it is believed that those who believe and obey the Commandments of Christ and the Bible as the inspired word of God, are " Brethren in Christ ".

There is also a Christadelphian hall.
