Their leaders have taught and demonstrated to them that their fellowship is based on unselfishness and each one caring for the interests of others (Acts 20:35).

Exclusive Brethren do not attend restaurants or venues of worldly entertainment, nor eat with others outside their fellowship.

Overnight accommodation is always provided in other brethrens' homes.

A meeting every day provides opportunity for spiritual renewal and social contact at a suitable level.

Hospitality pursued without preference or prejudice is an obligation and privilege of their fellowship.
