GEORGE PALGRAVE SIMPSON page 9 |
Was associated with the Administration of the Faith in the
British Isles from its earliest days. Elected as Chairman of the first
“Spiritual Council” and President of the “National Spiritual
Assembly” in 1923. He also served as the Assistant Secretary and
the Treasurer for some years. All the early letters from the
Guardian were addressed to him and the file copies of his letters
to the Holy Land, some to the Guardian and others to the
various secretaries, as well as the Minutes in his handwriting,
give us our closest insight into the conditions obtaining in the
1920’s. At one stage he felt obliged to resign from the National
Assembly but was still called upon to remain as its Treasurer and
attend the meetings! He served the Cause with great distinction
until his death on 31 August 1934. (See letter 30 September
1934.)
