The Christadelphian Isolation League (CIL) is a registered charity which aims to look after the 'spiritual welfare' of baptised Christadelphians and their family members, who are distant from an ecclesia due to physical distance or illness. It is funded by donations from the Christadelphian community.
Exhortations, Bible studies and lectures in written form are mailed regularly to recipients in around 70 countries. In addition, the CIL organises a correspondence Sunday School and other youth activities, and publishes two magazines in braille containing articles of Scriptural interest. [1] The CIL website hosts 2500 articles as well as 5000 audio and video recordings of Christadelphian meetings. [2]
The Christadelphians are a restorationist and nontrinitarian Christian denomination. The name means 'brothers and sisters in Christ', from the Greek words for Christ (Christos) and brothers (adelphoi).
The Church of the Blessed Hope is a small first-day Adventist Christian body. The churches have common roots with the Christadelphians and the Church of God General Conference.

Dr. John Thomas was a British religious leader and founder of the Christadelphians. He was a dedicated Bible expositor, and author of Elpis Israel, the first major writing to bring to light the subject of "God Manifestation" and the hope of Israel for future generations. In this work, he was able to draw upon his understanding of Biblical Prophecy to predict the return of Israel in the near future, which came to pass in 1948, with the establishment of the state of Israel. Thomas has often been branded as a false teacher and a heretic by fundamentalist Christians due to his denial of the Christian doctrines regarding the Trinity, the personhood of the Devil, the existence of demons, and various other core foundational doctrines of the Christian faith.
The Christadelphian Tidings of the Kingdom of God is a Bible magazine published monthly by the Christadelphians.
The Bible Companion is a Bible reading plan developed by Robert Roberts when he was 14 years of age, in about 1853, and revised by him over a number of years into its current format. It is widely used by Christadelphians, who place particular importance on personal daily Bible reading. Many Christadelphian congregations read one or more of the allotted chapters as part of their weekly Breaking of Bread service.

The Unamended Christadelphians are a "fellowship" within the broader Christadelphian movement worldwide, found only in the United States and Canada. They are, like all Christadelphians, millennialist and non-Trinitarian. The term Unamended Christadelphians is not the formal name of this community but is used informally to identify the grouping since a statement of faith traditionally used by many in this community is the "Unamended Statement of Faith". Similarly, most of the much larger grouping of Amended Christadelphians traditionally use a statement of faith that has been amended and therefore, in North America is known by the prefix "Amended". Nevertheless, Christadelphians worldwide and both Amended and Unamended Christadelphians in North America share fundamentally the same doctrines, with a few exceptions.
Robert Roberts is the man generally considered to have continued the work of organising and establishing the Christadelphian movement founded by Dr. John Thomas. He was a prolific author and the editor of The Christadelphian magazine from 1864 to 1898.

Charles Curwen Walker (1856–1940) was a Christadelphian writer and editor of The Christadelphian Magazine from 1898 to 1937.
Thomas Williams (1847–1913) was a Welsh Christadelphian who emigrated to America in 1872, and eventually became editor of The Christadelphian Advocate magazine and author of The Great Salvation and The World's Redemption, reserving him a place alongside Christadelphian founders Dr. John Thomas and Robert Roberts. When his appeals to English brethren went unheeded, he became the most prominent of the brethren who avoided these divisive factions, and later became known as Unamended Christadelphians because they never adopted a particular amendment to the Christadelphian statement of faith.
Elpis Lodge was a hostel provided by Christadelphians for Jewish refugee boys in Birmingham, England, from 1940–1948.
