Hi Justin
First to let you know your messages are going thru.
Personally (what else can it be?) "fellow believers"
seems a bit anaemic to me. The advantage of "brothers
and sisters" is that the reader immediately connects
to Mark3:3 and elsewhere.
I do think there's one valid use for a male only "brethren"
for ADELFOI; Acts 13:15 "men and brothers" seems to reflect
exactly the British trade-unionist use of the term :-D
