WALTER WILKINS page 191 |
Born in 1883 Walter embraced the Faith when he was about 40
years old. He was a keen Esperantist through which he learned
of the Faith. He served for many years on the London Spiritual
Assembly and was on the National Assembly for a year in 1934.
Responding to the pioneer call of the Six Year Plan he moved to
Birmingham in 1946, to Blackburn in 1947, to Norwich in
1948, and in 1961 at the age of 78 he pioneered to Canterbury.
At the age of 82 he took a small flat in an old people’s home
where for the first time in his life he was able to entertain the
friends and hold Feasts and even an assembly meeting. He passed
away after an accident on 19 March 1973.
