Founded by a man called John Thomas, this minor cult is found in scattered pockets throughout the world.
The name means ' Brethren in Christ' but unhappily, they believe in a 'diluted saviour' as they are unitarian. (If you are trying to spot a cult - apply the 'Trinity test'.)The good news is that this sect is in major decline and one more generation will probably see them off as detractors from The Gospel.
There are no more than 18,000 remaining in the UK most of whom are quite aged.
