Darby]], [[Watchman Nee]] and [[Witness Lee]] and associated with the [[Living Stream Ministry]] publishing house. Its members see themselves as separate from other Christian groups, denominations, and movements, part of what they sometimes call "[[The Lord's Recovery]]". One of the defining features of the local churches is their adherence to the principle that all Christians in a city or locality are automatically members of the one church in that locality. Another defining feature is the lack of an official organization or official name for the movement. Those in the local churches believe that to take a name would divide them from other believers. Thus, they often say they meet with "the church in [city name]" with the understanding that they are not the only church but belong to the same church as every believer in their city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://localchurches.org/beliefs/faq.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214105103/http://www.localchurches.org/beliefs/faq.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-12-14|title=Local Churches Beliefs}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
