Others, while they adhered somewhat to the Needed Truth ideas, stayed with the [[Open Brethren]].

Eventually, in the middle of the 20th century, many of the more conservative (who meet in [[Gospel Halls]]) of the [[Open Brethren]] in [[North America]], began to decrease their fellowship with the others (the [[Bible Chapels]]). The brethren who fellowshipped in Bible Chapels often found they were no longer invited to the conferences held at the Halls, and many from the Halls stopped attending the conferences held in the Chapels. This is not yet a world-wide phenomenon, as the line of demarcation is not as pronounced in some countries outside of the North American continent. These North American assemblies holding similar ideas to Needed Truth (i.e. Church and Churches of God) have remained a separate group from the much smaller Needed Truth group. |

Needed Truth is a Christian, Plymouth Brethren magazine that first appeared in 1888[1] in Scotland. The magazine discussed whether reception was to the Lord's Table, or if reception was to the assembly itself. This distinction had implications whether a believer from other evangelical churches could occasionally meet with the saints in a New Testament assembly. The publication of the magazine crystallised the two sides of the argument to such an extent that within five years they ceased to be in intercommunion.[2]
Eventually, several assemblies who subscribed to the ideas of Needed Truth magazine separated out into what some called Needed Truth Brethren ("The Separation"). There are currently over 100 of these assemblies still in existence around the world in the UK, USA, Canada, Burma, India, Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi, Australia, Jamaica, Belgium (although they designate themselves as the "Church and Churches of God"). They operate a website.[3] Needed Truth magazine still exists, and in 2008 was revamped into an A4 full colour format with a new title – NT. It now features regular testimonies and interviews with people actively involved in Christian work alongside its historic mix of articles on the person and work of Christ, Christian living, the context of Bible times, prophecy, and the relationship between assemblies.
The ideas in the magazine also influenced many assemblies that did not separate, in that they eventually took on Needed Truth teaching and formed another sub-sect, the Gospel Hall Brethren.
