Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. At the General Assembly in Kitchener, there was pressure to choose either Toronto or Bryn Athyn as the next assembly location. Pendleton delayed the decision by pointing out that the usual custom is for a society to put forth an invitation which is considered by the Bishop and the Joint Council. Pendleton asks Tilson what he thinks of the idea of hosting the next general assembly in London. Pendleton has been considering this idea for some time as it would highlight the international nature of the General Church. In Bryn Athyn, the schools have successfully opened, and spirits are high. Referring to the Academy’s recent jubilee, Pendleton comments, “We now begin our second half century lap, and only the youngest among us will live to see its conclusion, this is, from this side.” Names mentioned: Mr. (Fred) Gyllenhaal
