Key points
- The Church of the Brethren gathers for a love feast following Jesus’ example of self-giving fellowship.
- This teaching arrangement brings successive service actions into one study view.
- Church of the Brethren; United States. Contemporary love-feast teaching arrangement. This is the Church of the Brethren, not Plymouth or Open Brethren. Congregations vary in meal, frequency, seating and room use. Dining tables and portable washing stations depict a service setup rather than permanent sanctuary architecture.
- Coordinates, dimensions, materials, room envelope, seat counts and unspecified furniture placement are illustrative rather than surveyed measurements. Teaching sources establish practices, not architectural dimensions. Service equipment is temporary where labeled.
