Dear Jonathan,
Thanks for visiting 'My Brethren'. Please come back again.
Your inquiry regarding the beginning of 'exclusives' in Barcelona is now posted in the Guest Book and, hopefully, it will draw some replies. If it does please let me know.
I don't have any information at the moment but will make some inquiries.
In the meantime perhaps you would share something of your background and reason for interest with our guests.
In our Lord, Gordon.

Dear Jonathan,
I understand that Daniel Roberts has written to you as to his knowledge
of the situation in Spain. I realize he cannot give early information
but hope it will be of some interest.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.

Dear brother Gordon,
Lastly, thank you so much for your help and inquiry. I hope these brief notes will help you to know about my background.
Yours in His grace, Kharka Pariyar.
To: Kharka Pariyar
Dear Kharka, As to the books, you might try Dover Bible Fund, assuming they have them in stock, as they are in nearby Pennsylvania and you would avoid problems of foreign exchange on funds. Dover handles all KBT publications.
It is very interesting to hear of your contacts with Neil and Edith Short. Betty and I enjoyed many happy times with Neil and Edith in earlier years, in our home and in theirs, before they moved from Toronto.
Do let us know how you make out obtaining the ministry, and feel free to write again at any time.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kharka Pariyar
Dear brother Gordon, Neil was a amazing brother to me. He really spoke like an oracle of God.
However, it pleased the Lord to take him home to deliver him from many sickness in the flesh. Yes, I was able to read the news you mention about the home call of our brother Neil in site news in mybrethren.org.
May the Lord bless you dear brother
Yours in His Love, Kharka Pariyar.
To: Kharka Pariyar
Dear Kharka, Regarding Neil Short whose service you so much appreciated – not finding brothers in the west, in your company, comparable –
In my judgment, this last factor is that which would have specially distinguished Neil from
those in your company whom you compared to him
Your comments will be welcome.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kharka Pariyar
Dear brother Gordon,
Dear brother, I fully agree upon the four factors you have listed about our dear brother Neil Short which distinguished him from many other. Truly Neil came to us with a distinct ministry and we are so grateful that we were privilege to have such a brother to minister us.
I am not sure,if,what I have heard from some of my friends is a truth. But I have heard that a number of brethren in Bhutan have been divided from their present position and form themselves a group, to stand exclusively in the teaching of our brother Neil Short, as they saw many who would not be willing to walk in the path once Neil showed to them.
Do you know any one who visited Jaigoan, west Bengal, North India, in a recent months from your company? I am not sure even who might be those, who have been separated from among the KLC brethren in Bhutan.
Hoping to hear from you soon, I would just like to close here. May the Lord bless you and your ministry.
Yours in Him,whose return is imminent, Kharka Pariyar, NC.
To: Kharka Pariyar
Dear Kharka,
Your move to North Carolina was a big one. Perhaps you may contact a friend, Edward Hunte of Barbados, who spends some time in NC. His email is edwardhunte@sunbeach.net -- I don't have an address.
I am glad of your appreciation of Neil and what he ministered -- but I am quite surprised that he was able to be comfortable among the KLC.
No, I have not heard anything of the situation in Bhutan -- yours is the first report. It is not the least surprising that some would separate to follow the truth, and I look forward to hearing more as news becomes available to you.
Just to clarify -- we are not connected in special links of fellowship with any group -- for a number of reasons. We seek to keep all avenues of communication open -- and to be of service to all our brethren.
Write again when you are able. In our Lord Jesus, Gordon,
To: Lila Marilla Paul
Dear sister, Lila Marilla Paul,
We have posted your account on MB in Memorabilia: The
Ears of the Assembly: India and Burma – 2004.
Your email address indicates you may be in the USA at the moment. If so I would be interested in a telephone conversation with you and your husband and could call, at a mutually convenient time, if you could email a telephone number.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon Rainbow.

Lila called from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she and her husband Daniel have been visiting, expecting to return to Inda on the morrow and reside in Bangalore.
From: Lila Marilla Paul
My dearest Gordon and Betty, I am writing this from Missoula, Montana. Ruth very lovingly invited me to spend the rest of my life with [her] so I came to America … arrived in Missoula on the 19th July.
I tried calling you twice, but did not succeed. This computer was linked to the Internet a few days ago so we can now correspond by email as well as by phone. Please give me your phone
number again. Our number here is — The dear brethren with whom I am in fellowship in Delhi felt the parting very much and so did I. I keep in touch with them by phone and now emails can be easily exchanged. I hope to go to Delhi on visits, Lord willing.
The work you are doing for the Lord and His interests is very commendable and pleasing to the Lord. May he continue to bless it.
I look forward to hearing from you.the Lord bless and keep you both dear brother and sister. Closing with much warm love in the Lord to you both, and other dear saints with you. .
To: Lila Marilla Paul
Dearest Lila, How good to hear from you and to know you are on this side! Thanks too for all the news [not included above]. We don't have much to report, days often seem boring, but we wait for Him!
It's so good to know that Ruth will be caring for you. "Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest be long-lived on the earth", Ephesians 6: 2.
Sorry you couldn't reach us by phone. Sometimes I shut off my hearing aids and so may have missed your call. And we may be out at our dining room. I'm not sure how much difference in time there is. Our number is —. I will try to call you soon and then we can talk freely. Look forward to hearing your voice.
Affectionately in the Lord Jesus, Gordon and Betty.
From: Lila Marilla Paul
My dear brother and sister in the Lord, I have just sent an e-mail telling about our meetings in Rangoon and New Delhi and about the meetings I now go to. I have asked if you have a copy of the Stowhill Hymn book cum Tune book 1932 edition. I play the piano and have my copy, but it's very old and is disintegrating. If there is a new or a secondhand copy in good condition I would like to buy it. We have a piano here in my daughter Ruth's house and I love to play hymns every day. I also play Classical Music by Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven and others. I also have a piano in my apartment in New Delhi.
Closing with much warm love in the Lord to you both and all the dear brethren with you.
Yours lovingly in Him, Lila.
To: Lila Marilla Paul
Dear Lila, I'm very sorry I didn't recognize your phone calls. This happens quite often if Betty is not available to answer. I have a hearing problem and despite using an amplifier cannot always understand, especially if there is a poor connection or the caller has an accent. I would have liked to speak with you but sadly this may just not be practical. The news is interesting and I'm glad you are being well cared for.
We live in Bethany Manor, Markham, Ontario – since April 2005 – a retirement home operated by some "open" people, although we do not fellowship with them. We are both reasonably well, Betty – who had her 81st birthday Feb. 23 – more so than myself. I now use a power chair as walking is difficult even with a walker.
With love in our Lord Jesus, Gordon and Betty.
From: Kevin Pearson
Dear brother,
Like your site. Would like to see more of the ministry posted on here especially things such as GRC that are hard to find.
For your general information I fellowship in Denton, TX with those who you would probably call the Renton's. Have been with them for several years.
If I can help you in any way feel free to email me.
Yours in the Lord Jesus, Kevin.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, I thought I had all GRC's ministry but I did not know about booklets
4 & 5!
As to "Headship of Christ and God" I said "available" – that is to me. I should have said "to have survived".
The other Stow Hill publications you mention were reprinted by P.H.
in the "Memorials" series.
I have some of GRC's ministry which may be posted in the next few months.
You kindly say, "If I can help you in any way feel free to email me". The area in which I need the most assistance is in transcribing appropriate ministry.
I note your connection with certain brethren and, as you will notice on the site, I am quite familiar with their position, though not sympathetic on some points.
I hope you will visit again, and I would be glad to hear from you at
any time.
Yours in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin Pearson
Dear Gordon,
The contents of "Ministry of GRC" booklets are as follows:
Booklet 4,
Booklet 5,
I have an extra copy of booklet 4 that I am sticking in the mail to you.
I noted your statements about critisism but I guess I'm unclear as to
your position being much different than ours.
Just a note. I was not born and raised amongst brethren. I was raised
RC and came to a saving faith at 16. I did not serve the Lord fully until 20.
As to my offer to help I will see what I can do. I recently bought a new computer and my father'n'law gave me a scanner. I tried scanning some of JT's ministry at his house and it worked great.
I must run. It was good hearing from you. Maybe we could meet on a chat
line sometime soon and talk.
Your brother in the Lord Jesus, Kevin M. Pearson.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, As to scanning. When you have time perhaps you could try FER 3: 268-275 – "The Person of the Christ" and the following letter.
Thanks again, Yours in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin,
Thanks too for the data on GRC's Booklets 4 and 5 which I hope – when time permits – to include in my catalogue of his ministry. You may be interested in a copy at that time.
As to your inquiry as to my position regarding brethren with whom
you are in fellowship, you will find details in the "Mailbox: My Stand".
Please understand, I don't care to be known personally, or for "My
Brethren" to be known, as being "anti" this or that and I want guests
to express their exercise and concerns.
I have no objection to meeting on a chat line – but have no experience in doing so and would need guidance.
Yours in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin M. Pearson
Dear Gordon,
Look forward to hearing from you.
Yours in the Lord Jesus, Kevin M. Pearson.
From: Kevin Pearson
Dear Gordon,
Your brother in Christ, Kevin M. Pearson.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin,
Thanks for the info on "Response to God as Revealed" by AEM. I have
added it to his bio as suggested.
I went ahead with the FER article – it is in the "Doctrine" group – but would appreciate it if you could scan
I am still trying to obtain GRC's Booklet No. 5. Have you possibly
found an extra copy? Did you know there is also a Booklet No. 6?
The jpg files of JT, CAC, FER, AMH, PL, AEM and any others you may have
would be very welcome, for adding to various Biography, History and
Ministry pages. I only have a few on the site at the moment.
Thanks for your help, Kevin.
With love in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin Pearson
Dear Gordon,
Kevin.
To: Kevin Pearson
Hi Kevin, Thanks to you, I believe they will improve the site greatly.
Yours in the Lord Jesus, Gordon.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, Thanks again. I will have use for most shortly. They will make good
additions and will be noted in August "Site News".
With love in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin Pearson
Gordon, I haven't been by your site lately but I seem to remember seeing something about KBT putting the ministry on CD-ROM.
To answer you about a JT site I have not had any time. I started a new job about a year ago and between it and going to our "oft meetings" I can't
seem to get around to it.
It's good to hear from you again. Keep in touch! In Him, Kevin.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin,
As to copyright on scanned ministry, I'm not sure. In the past brethren
have never claimed copyright and it would seem inappropriate and
inconsistent for anyone to claim it on such ministry. See Personal: Copyright Information.
Sorry you don't have a scanner any longer as you would have been
able to contribute to the CD-ROM work.
I know how change of employment – and "oft meetings" – can hinder other matters, including personal spiritual development and family
needs. It requires devotion to maintain our responsibility in every
sphere.
I hope we will be able to keep in touch more often. Your contributions
are valued.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin Pearson
Hi Gordon,
I just thought I'd let you know of these other two publications that Stow Hill printed of AJG's ministry.
Hope all is well with you! In Him, Kevin M. Pearson.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, Glad to hear from you again. In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Kevin Pearson
Greetings!
I trust all is well with you! BTW I have not heard from the Munsells.
Maybe they are on vacation. I found a listing for a Rodney Munsell in
Grapevine which is near where they said they were from but the number no
longer was working.
Love in the Lord Jesus, Kevin.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin,
Thanks for sending that brotherly message to the Munsells. I surely
hope they respond.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, Susan says, "I tried typing a page of J.T. (Vol. 60 page 350) which is almost all one long remark by J.T. and it took me nine minutes typing as fast as my fingers would move and then going back and making any corrections the 'spell check' underlined. Therefore, I would estimate 21 pages would take about 189 minutes at least and that is not using the format needed for your setup. So we are looking at 3 hours and 9 minutes for 21 pages. So it appears Kevin's scanner is a much better way to go if it only takes an 1 1/2 to 2 hours to do".
Some time ago Peter Metcalfe, who had been scanning JBS for the KBT
cd-rom project, wrote, "… am in the process of proof reading volume 4 – and enjoying it. This is necessary because the punctuation and several words are mis-translated by the Textbridge Pro software, especially the numbers. Scanning each volume takes about 5 hours labour with about 22
hours estimated to proof each and correct". Based on an average of 436
pages each for JBS 1 - 6, I calculate about 4 minutes a page, or 1 hour
4 minutes for the 16 pages of "Worship ...", or 1 hour 24 minutes for
the 21 page booklet, which seems reasonably close to your time.
I hope this will be some use to you in evaluating the use of the
scanner, and I would be interested in your thoughts.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From Kevin Pearson
Dear brother Gordon, I was doing a search on the internet for the 'Little Flock' hymns and found a link to the page where you talk about your hymn project –
Your brother in Christ, Kevin Pearson.
To: Kevin Pearson
Dear Kevin, If you will access the new MB site – www.mybrethren.org – and check Personal: My Projects: Hymn Tunes you will see that we have just recently posted some tunes on History: Hymn Book 4.

Thanks again for visiting. I look forward to hearing from you again.

From: Sam Peter
Dear Brother Gordon As requested I am giving a brief about myself and the fellowship we
have in Saudi Arabia.
In 1986 my living Lord gave me a loving and God fearing wife, Beena Sam, and blessed us with 2 daughters and a son (Jennifer Rachel studying in 8th,
Jeslyn Mary in 7th and Jaison Peter in 4th standard).
My family is still in Cochin with my widowed aged mother (80 years).
Since, 1994 I am staying alone in Dammam [Saudi Arabia], here we have a small gathering
of brethren believers all from our State of Kerala. Nearly 30 members are at the Lord's table each week.
In our local gathering, we have prayer meeting on Wednesday, Bible study on Thursday, Children study on Friday and worship meeting on Sunday, these
gatherings take place in different houses each day between 8.00 p.m to 10.00 p.m.
Regarding the e-mail address, you can use any one of them and I can access them from my work place. I do not own computer in my room, I use my company computer.
Finally, I thank you for spending your precious time for reading this lengthy message. Do pray for the assembly gathering, my family, especially for my aged mother and for my children.
Convey my sincere regards to your family and MB staff.
In Christ, Sam Peter.
From: Sam Peter
Dear Brother Gordon, Trust you and your family are in good health and safety in the loving care or our living Lord, the same with me here by the Grace of God.
Since months passed we communicated, I was little busy with official
matters, now a days some spare time is there, as the Muslims holy month of Ramadan is going on, as such the working time is less now.
I have visited your site and gone through the Mailbox, great job you had
done, may His name be glorified.
Convey my regards to all at home. My sincere wishes and prayers for all
your efforts in the field of our Lord. May our living Lord bless you more and more in the coming days for His glory.
With prayers, Sam Peter.
To: Sam Peter
Dear Sam, I'm glad you have gone through the Mailbox and thank you for your
compliments.
I trust you will be able to be reunited with your wife and your
family in the Lord's will.
I'll be glad to hear from you at any time and am especially interested in how you are getting on with the ministry files sent recently.
Our greetings in the Lord to you and the brethren with you.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Sam Peter
Dear Bro. Gordon, Wishing you and your family all health and prosperity in the year 2001.

Yours in the Lord, Gordon.
From: Graeme Pilcher
I enjoyed browsing your site. We truly are privileged to know our Lord and Saviour. What ever we have been through in the past should in a sense make us closer to Him.
Most of our family came out of the EB meeting in 1979.
Graeme Pilcher.
To: Graeme Pilcher
Dear Graeme, Yes, without the Lord Jesus we would be in a terrible plight but with
Him, like yourself, we have been able to face the loss of family and
friends. I'm certainly glad you have access to most of your family.
If you want to share any more information, please do.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.

Thank you very much for giving me adequate information to get either the printed volumes or CD ROM of the profound ministry of J. B. Stoney and others.
With regard to my background and position, I can definitely share a little both of my physical and Spiritual standing.
As the testimony of the believers gathering unto the name of the Lord alone in the Indian sub continent, a number of assemblies and individual believers were in a Christian denomination called "Bhakt Singh Fellowship".
And from the beginning of 1990, brother Neil Short and his wife Edith Short started visiting these brethren and ministering the word to them, as a result a large number of believers came into the fellowship and testimonies began in India, Bhutan and in Nepal.
Sometime ago, I contacted a brother in Sacramento, California, to find a possibility of connecting a Nepalese family who also came into the States in the same way I am and have been without the Christian meeting to go.
So as mentored by such a spiritual man like Neil Short, I have learnt to love the writings of some our godly and goodly brothers.
The Lord is good and His care for us is ever.

Dear Andrew, Whether JND's remark "through one I had met at Oxford" explodes the possibilty of an earlier meeting in Ireland, it seems – to me at least – to be undecided but weighted somewhat in favour of such a meeting.

As to my personal circumstances, I reside in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am married with a wife and four children.
I enjoy good ministry.
Greetings in Christ, Andrew.
To: Andrew Poots
Dear Andrew,
As you "enjoy good ministry" I suggest you review that of Mr. G. R. Cowell on MB.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: Andrew Poots
Dear Gordon,
Your biography gives the general outline. I am sure many details could be researched and filled in.
My web site is in a very inchoate state. I hope eventually to have some ministry there.
I am familiar with the ministry of Mr. Cowell. David Porter [see following] loaned me some volumes. What a tragedy that he was ousted by J.T.Jr. in the succession to become universal leader.
In the Lord Jesus, Andrew.
To: Andrew Poots
Dear Andrew, A 'Bulletin' has been posted re your interest in the 'Present Testimony' and any additional ministry of GVW. Please let us know if you have any response.
Your contact with David Porter is interesting. We have had some good correspondence and we enjoyed a visit with him when he was in Canada a few years ago.
I hope we can keep in touch from time to time.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
I believe I have seen information on your site in the past about Walter Thomas Turpin which I presently cannot seem to locate. Can you point me in the right direction, or furnish additional information?
Greetings in Christ, Andrew Poots.

Welcome to 'My Brethren', and thanks for your contribution on the matter of 'Mr. J. N. Darby's first impresson of Mr. G. V. Wigram' in the biography of G. V. Wigram.
Tue, 6 Jan 2004
G. V. Wigram was an interesting brother. You are probably aware of Mr. Stoney's remark, "I always think Mr. Wigram had many things spiritually which he had not doctrinally".
Thu, 8 Jan 2004
Thanks for your reply. I seem to recall hearing the remark as to GVW which you attribute to JBS. Do you have a source/reference for it?
Thu, 8 Jan 2004
The remark about GVW is found on page 254 of Letters from J. B. Stoney Vol. 3, Stow Hill Edition.
Fri, 9 Jan 2004
Thanks for the JBS/GVW reference which I have added to the biography.
From: Andrew Poots
Wed, 10 Oct, 2008
Dear Andrew,
Thanks for your mail. I located two places where he is mentioned.
The first link is here: Biography: C.A. Coates – only his name, and that he prayed at Mr. Coates' burial. [Editors note: This is an error – this would have been W.T. Turpin's son – see Andrew's response below.]
And then here: History: The Champney Letter – where is mentioned in HDAC's letter – follow the 'Continued' link at the end of the first page of the letter and then check under the heading 'The Goodness of the Lord to Mr. Stanley and Mr. Pinkerton'.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Yours in the Lord Jesus.
Dear Brother,
Thanks, I found the places. WTT went to be with the Lord in 1914. It was more than likely a son who prayed at CAC's burial.
The note I was looking for was in the Champney section:
Also, is there any way now of clarifying WTT's reason for returning to the Establishment? This would be of great interest to me, and to others, in view of the fact that there is some present interest in WTT's ministry. It would be good if further details of the letter of Arthur G. Brown could be made available.
Thanks for your help thus far.
Greetings in Christ, Andrew.
Dear Brother,
I doubt I can give you much help as to W. T. Turpin. Plugging in his name gives a number of hits on the Internet. Present Truth Publishers sells his collected writings for £40. The Manchester library lists his books, but I cannot see from the titles that they have anything to do with Mr. Raven's ministry. I expect you and your correspondent are aware of these sources. Neatby on page 282 says: "In some cases it was the gradual pressure of Ravenism that forced the malcontents out. Of these lingerers the best known was Mr, W. T. Turpin".
...I do not recollect Arthur Brown saying anything particular to me about him. The fact that he became a minister in an evangelical church after he left Brethren suggests that he had given up the recovered truth as to the assembly rather than just some teaching of Mr. Raven as to eternal life...
This does not help much. If I can find anything further I will let you know.
Greetings in Christ, Gordon Simmonds.
To: David Porter
Hi David, If you have any thoughts or concerns you would like to share, please feel free to send a message. I would be very glad to hear from you.
Yours in the Lord, Gordon.
From: David Porter
Dear Brother Gordon,
I will write soon to give further information about myself.
Yours in His Name, David.
From: David Porter
Dear Gordon
I am married to Norma and we have four children, David, married to Wendy, who have just had baby Matthew, Stephen, Andrew, who is in Canada until September, and Sharon.
I have never been in fellowship with any company of the Brethren but am one of those who fits the second goal of your site to reach out to believers who have been exercised by the writings of JND, JBS, FER, CAC, etc.
I have attended a number of meetings in Bangor of the company connected with Kingston but have not, as yet, joined them.
I better tell you why I am so hesitant.
I desire to walk in the pathway the Lord has for me and thank Him for the
light given so far
Finally, on a different subject, you may already know about this, but I have a Booklet No. 6 of the "Ministry of G. R. Cowell" which includes three addresses from 1962.
Once again thank you for the work you have put into your site. If I can help in any way please let me know.
With much affection in the Lord.
Yours in the Lord Jesus, David.
To: David Porter
Dear David
It a great encouragement that the Lord is still exercising some of His
own
You are doubtless under great inward pressure as you consider the impact any move you make may have on your wife and family, and your congregation – all persons used to trusting you and following your lead.
I am sure you will have considered the examples in Scripture, but these
come to mind:
I bear witness by experience that answering to the light is costly, and
that disobeying it is more costly, by far.
Just where obedience may lead you is not mine to say.
Fellowship has both a universal and a local bearing, but normally one would expect to find it with some in his own locality or nearby, at
least.
You are in our prayers daily that you may be both sensitive and
submissive to the Spirit's direction in all your considerations.
It is of interest to hear you have Booklet No. 6 of GRC's ministry. I
have #1 to #4, and am checking with Malcolm Withell for #5 and #6.
I have just added a landmark address by GRC entitled "Separated ..." which you may not have seen.
I am thankful you appreciate 'My Brethren', and also thank you for your
brotherly offer of help, which may be of use in the future.
News of your progress in your exercise will be most welcome.
With love in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
To: David Porter
Dear David,
You also said, "I have a Booklet No. 6 of the "Ministry of G. R.
Cowell" which includes three addresses from 1962".
We had a short visit with Colin Purdy of Warrenpoint recently when he
was here to visit his uncle.
If you have not visited MB lately you will find a number of additions.
With love in the Lord Jesus to you and your family, Gordon.
From: David Porter
Dear brother Gordon, I usually print out the ministry as I find it easier to read and also it
allows me to annotate the pages.
I would like to produce a detailed catalogue of the ministry of GRC at
some time.
It seems a long time since my visit to you in May but I still hold very
happy memories of that day.
With much love in the Lord Jesus, Yours in Him, David.
To: David Porter
Dear David,
I am not sure that I have been consistent throughout MB in identifying
the source of notes shown in the yellow boxes, and I will try to improve
on this.
As to "a detailed catalogue of the ministry of GRC", I have already
produced one – except to add the booklet you kindly gave me – but I am having difficulty printing it in booklet form.
Betty and I remember your visit fondly and are thankful for our links
in Christ.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: David Porter
Dear Gordon Regarding the recent offer of a book by J. B. Catterall at an exorbitant
price, I spoke to a brother about this on Saturday at a fellowship meeting and he has the following items by Catterall in his library. It might be possible to get some of this material copied.
Finally, we are coming to Canada, God willing, on Wednesday 27th February. My son, Andrew, is to be married in March in Canada. We will be over for about two weeks.
With much affection in the Lord Jesus,
Yours in Him, David.
To: David Porter
Dear David,
Betty and I hope you can spare time on your proposed trip for a visit
with us. We still have very happy memories of your earlier visit.
I suppose you have noticed the start here on scanning GRC, and I look
forward to going over this with you.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus,
I write to ask about the spreadsheet produced by David Mutton listing the
ministry of GRC. If it is possible to obtain this I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your help.
Yours in Christ Jesus, David.
Dear David,
Here is what we have from David Mutton. We include two 'extras' you might find interesting. [Attached files]
Gordon also asked me to pass along his greetings to you and that he remembers your earlier contacts and an enjoyable visit a while back.
Yours in our Lord Jesus.
Dear brother Gordon,
Your labour has not been in vain and I certainly have greatly appreciated the ministry you post on this site.
Can I say that the latest ministry you have put on from JND on Obscurity and Devotedness in very relevant to the present time. It was also very precious to me in my situation.
With love in the Lord Jesus, David.
Dear David, Retiring! -- but not from the Lord's service I trust.
We would be very happy to have a visit in May. As you may have noted we moved in 2005 to Bethany Manor in Markham – adjacent to Toronto. When you arrive – or sooner – let us know where you will be coming from for a visit and I'll provide directions.
Betty and I are looking forward to seeing you again – and Norma too perhaps.
Affectionately in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.

From: Jean-Louis Prache
Dear Friends,
Another frustration: Many of these texts are surrounded by frames, so that it is extremely disagreeable when one wants to print them. I loose so much place and paper! Please send me only the web addresses of all the divisions and subchapters that are without Frames. Thank you very much.
And another question, please send me please your most complete Catalog of books, tracts, and so on – maybe I'll be able to save much money by buying from you the paper edition of many biographical and historical sketches that you display on your web site – and I'll spare unuseful printing?
Sincerely yours in Jesus.
To: Jean-Louis Prache
Dear Jean-Louis, Your frustration is regrettable. Perhaps a few explanations will remove it. I'm not addressing your problems individully as they overlap and are all covered in the following.
On the 'Menu-Site Map'– by scrolling or using the 'drop down' menu 'Check Menu-SiteMap' – you can find and access, any of the groups or sub-groups – e.g. 'History', 'Ministry' – or any of the pages within those groups.
You can return to the 'Menu-SiteMap' by clicking it at the top of any 'Frames' menu or at the top of any 'No Frames' page. You can change from 'Frames' to 'No Frames' via the menu bar at the top of either 'Menu-SiteMap'.
We had not thought of 'My Brethren' as "gigantic" but realize there is much to explore, and have tried to make navigation of MB simple and straightforward, as well as offer various options.
I trust the above will help you to get the most benefit from MB, and look forward to hearing from you again.
Regarding your final question: 'My Brethren' is strictly a web site and does not publish any books. The biographies have been specially compiled for MB and are not available in this form elsewhere.
In the Lord, Gordon.

Dear brother Gordon, I have just returned from Sweden, and have found out that there are no assemblies, at least where I would be welcomed.
I noted a name Bernt Lindberg, I believe ge lives near Uppsala. I also found out that he is a Doctor. I am planning to be in Stockholm next year and I am wondering if you think I could make a contact with him. If so, could I have his e-Mail address. The one that you have
does not work any longer. I would very much appreciate your advice.
I believe it was 1968 that I visited a small gathering (open brethren) in Smålandstena, Sweden. I have heard that it does not exist any longer. There were about 12 or so people there at the time. There was a brother by the name of Nyquist. I was at his home fir a meal.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Lovingly, in His eternal love, Heino.

Love in our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: John Puxty
Dear Gordon, My parents are Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Puxty of Retford. They are still with one of the Brethren assemblies – not sure which though.
Yours, John.
From: John Puxty
Dear Gordon
When I was 22 I met someone 'in the world' and left the Brethren and the family home.
After we had been married a few years my parents came out of the Exclusives and joined the 'London Brethren'.
Early on in our courtship Diana (my ex. wife) took me to a Church of
England evening service. I felt that here was something I could cope
with and started a new stage of my spiritual journey.
I have currently been reading 'The Recovery of the Truth' by Mr. Gardiner. It was given to me by an Aunt.
I may not be the usual sort of person that writes to you, I am very much in the liberal mode.
If you would like to know any more about my history I would be only too pleased to tell what I can but on the basis of sharing information.
My parents are now in their eighties and not in the best of health.
"My brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it", Luke 8:21.
What is the word of God?
Thanks for your interest, Gordon.
Yours, John.
To: John Puxty
Dear John,
Let me too make my position clear. I have no intention of trying to
persuade you, John, or any of MB's guests to join any particular group.
In a general way, your experience and reaction is similar to that of
many of your generation, growing up with very little knowledge or
experience of life among the brethren prior to the emergence of the
legal system in 1959.
But with many there is still a fascination with their origin.
Many, as yourself, use the internet, perhaps to connect with the past,
to find family or friends, to look for answers or information or for
reasons they cannot yet define.
It is sad indeed that you had no one you dared to discuss your doubts
with.
You ask re Luke 8: 21, "What is the word of God"? You will hopefully
find that out – generally and specifically – in the Lord's dealing with you.
I'm so glad you have access to your aged parents and trust you may be
able to comfort them in their last years.
Though I may not agree with your present situation, I have not written
to criticize or condemn you, John. My desire is for your spiritual
blessing.
Yours in the Lord, Gordon.
From: John Puxty
Dear Gordon,
I am fascinated with the past. When I met and married my wife I felt
I had to reject the past completely. I have come to realise that there were some good things about it.
I believe the word of God comes to people in many different ways. I
guess I am very inclusive in my approach to matters of faith.
I have also heard it said that people are more often right than wrong
in the things they affirm and, more often wrong than right in the things they deny.
Something which I am aware of is that having come out of the Brethren
I am left with some deep seated guilt.
I think it is a really excellent thing which you are doing – I am sure there are many Brethren who have been deeply scarred by their
experiences.
There is a dilemma concerning authority. The 'major' denominations have hierarchies and official ministers.
Well I must be getting on. I do thank you for your corres-pondence,
Gordon, and what you say. I do appreciate it.
Yours, John.
To: John Puxty
Dear John, My sympathies are with you in the loss of your father after a long
life of faithfulness. I assume your mother is still in the body.
The reference to Doncaster and Retford caught my eye as well, as I am very desirous of contacting any brethren in or near that area because of
an inquiry I have had. If you are able to give me any names, email and/or postal addresses, I would appreciate it.
In our Lord Jesus, Gordon.
From: John Puxty
Dear Gordon ,
Thank you for your kind message. I have told my mother of your reply – she would be delighted to receive a letter from you and I am sure she could give you some information about Brethren who have lived in the area.
The address is: Mrs Emmie Puxty …
Yours, John.

I am sure some of you will remember my father – William (Will) Puxty.
Sadly he passed away on Sunday, 20 May aged 88 years old. He, together
with my mother, left the 'Jim Taylor' Brethren in 1974. They had been
with the Sheffield (England) assembly which actually met in Doncaster.
My mother and father had been continuing a Brethren meeting on their own
in Retford right up until my father's death. In fact he had a massive
heart attack as he was getting dressed ready for the Morning Meeting.
Some of the Brethren my parents have been walking with went to Retford
for his burial - a very moving and loving occasion. My sister and two
brothers who are still with the 'Jim Taylor' Brethren were present in
the cemetery but stood at least 50 yards away, and with a chaperone! John Puxty
