Darby, John Nelson

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Darby, John Nelson (1800–82), Plymouth Brother. He was ordained in the C of E but resigned in 1827 and joined a sect called the ‘Brethren’, then newly founded by A. N. Groves; this rejected all Church order and outward forms. A quarrel within this body led to a schism; Darby became the leader of the stricter Brethren, who were organized as a separate body (‘Darbyites’).
