I think this is the earliest address list, isn't it? And also one of the most detailed in terms of showing day to day life in a meeting.

The pattern and descriptions of meetings is interesting. Clearly there was no fixed pattern established by then although all, except Greenwich, held the Breaking of Bread at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. A Monday evening prayer meeting was also widely established although not universal. It is notable that not all held a Reading meeting. I do not know what was meant by a 'Worship' meeting, as held at two rooms on Wednesday evening. By 'Open Meeting' I would understand a meeting like what later came to be known as a 'Ministry Meeting' where two or three brothers would give a short address. "Lecture" was a term which later disappeared from Exclusive vocabulary, I think an address given by a brother as arranged.
