			==Plymouth Brethren and Crowley==

			[[Aleister_Crowley\| Crowley]]'s parents were members of the Plymouth Brethren, an extremely devout Christian sect. The Bible was Crowley's only reading material as a youngster, and like many young people he particularly enjoyed the "exciting bits" and in particular the stories about [[the Beast]] [[666]]. This and his mothers referring to him as "The Beast" are what got him is now infamous nickname.

Between the years 1845 and 1848 a difference over the "independence" of local meetings resulted in the first division, causing a distinction to be made between the Open Brethren mainly referred to by the name Plymouth Brethren, and the Exclusive Brethren.
