I have stated before that both Nee and Lee, in both teaching and practice, began as Open Brethren and finished as Exclusive Brethren. Both began with the emphasis on local congregations being served by a multitude of ministries, and both ended with all the local churches existing only to build up their own unique ministry.
Not sure if this is a Chinese or British cultural phenomenon.
