Thomas (1805-1871), who, after studying See also:medicine in See also:London, migrated to See also:Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.A. There he at first joined the " Campbellites," but afterwards struck out independently, See also:preaching largely upon the application of See also:Hebrew prophecy and of the See also:Book of See also:Revelation to current and future events. Both in See also:America and in See also:Great See also:Britain he gathered a number of adherents, and formed a community which has extended to several See also:English-speaking countries. It consists of exclusive " ecclesias," with neither See also:ministry nor organization. The members meet on Sundays to " break See also:bread '" and discuss the See also:Bible. Their See also:theology is strongly millenarian, centering in the See also:hope of a See also:world-wide See also:theocracy with its seat at See also:Jerusalem. Holding a See also:doctrine of conditional See also:immortality," they believe that they alone have the true exegesis of Scripture, and that the " faith of Christendom" is" compounded of the fables predicted by See also:Paul." No See also:statistics of the community are published. It probably See also:numbers from two to three thousand members. A monthly See also:magazine, The Christadelphian, is published in See also:Birmingham.
