    DO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

    By Norman Green-Price

    My true interest in writing this book is not to promote my own story,

    for as intriguing as that might be for my family and friends and

    indeed myself, against the backdrop of the deluge of biographies

    swamping us these days, this would be just another human endeavor,

    which would add little to the overall picture, which in my opinion is as

    serious as we have ever faced.

    I am not alone in the conviction that the glory of unrepentant Man isshortly coming to an end, and will be replaced by the rule of repentant

    and renewed Man under Gods direction.

    This is the story that I intend to shout from the house tops, for

    surely, this is what should be relevant to all of us today, if my

    prognosis is correct!

    My aim is to put down a few markers as to the true history of this

    world as I now understand it, as credulous and eye-opening as that hasbeen to me personally, and to point to the possible road ahead.

    This should be of interest to most people, especially if they are

    prepared to consider the unbelievable, and desire to engage in

    necessary steps to change the situation should that be required.

    If not, I believe sadly their future may be bleak!

    In order to achieve this, my aim is to try and bridge the gap betweenthe events of my former years and the present. With the benefit of

    this hindsight, to show where the events experienced, now seem to be

    heading.

    To achieve this, however, I have and shall continue to draw on the

    input of others, many of whom have greater experience than myself in

    their particular fields, and whose life experience lends a different

    but hopefully and helpful perspective.

    My method is simply to place the facts before you as I see them,

    conscious that I see through a glass darkly. It is for others then to`decide their options, having weighed the evidence.

    My experience in the South Wales valleys had deepened my conviction

    that God actually existed; further that he was personally interested

    in my situation as well as the rest of Mankind, whom He had created,

    and was indeed the Counselor who could be trusted with the

    problems ahead.

    The task now was to establish to my own satisfaction whether theprinciples of life, illustrated in Chapters Two and Three of this book,

    found so applicable in solving some intractable problems of Britain,

    had a place elsewhere- namely in Europe.

    A friend suggested that I might like to visit Caux in Switzerland, the

    Headquarters of Moral Re-Armament in Europe.

    In the late 1940s, the world was then searching for the framework of

    a lasting peace, through a Europe that had been plagued by wars overmany centuries. The secrets now stemming from Caux many felt could

    be the key.

    Frank Buchman and his colleagues had been given a vision of post-war

    Europe, which although seemingly in line with other world leaders such

    as Churchill, de Gaul of France, Adenauer of Germany, de Gasperie of

    Italy, and Truman, then President of the United States, carried a

    very different plan of how to go about it.

    While the politicians were mostly considering a mere physical trans-

    formation, Buchman, envisioned primarily a spiritually based

    solution, firmly established on a change in human nature, based on

    the Guidance of God. This was the unique new element injected

    into this daunting situation came, especially Germany and her former

    allies of Italy and Japan. A successful integration for these nations

    into the new world, had to be found

    Frank Buchmans unique contribution was clearly spelled out in abroadcast he made at Interlaken called Guidance or Guns.

    Many at the time charged Buchman a with being a friend of Hitler.

    Although Frank Buchman believed that under God, the vilest character

    could be changed, he never met Herr Hitler, befriended him or had

    any doubt about the miracle that would be involved in such a process.

    Equally, he never shirked this challenge.

    Many Gods Professed but only ONE GOD!

    People today claim to be guided by God.

    Perhaps we should ask ourselves Which God? This is a pertinent

    question, for the true God warns us in the Bible that there are manygods and many spirits, and from the chaos and mayhem that so-called

    God Guided spirit-filled Man is daily producing, one has to wonder

    at the source of our inspiration.

    However, as I have tried to point out in the earlier chapters, there is

    ONE TRUE GOD, who is so keen to communicate with us that He

    sacrificed His Son to clear a direct path to Himself, without any

    human intermediaries!

    Unlike many theories, the fact is, that I had seen this essentially

    simple idea workout not only in my own life but in the lives of people

    very different from myself, and I therefore approached this

    experiment in Europe with high anticipation.

    It was this seemingly impossible vision of a united Europe, based on

    3

    3

    4/25

    the Eternal Laws of our Creator that Frank Buchman courageously set

    out to build and in which I was to be privileged to play a very minor

    role.

    Hindsight again has revealed the pitfalls to such a vision, some ofwhich have been exposed.

    The London Headquarters of MRA

    First, a friend suggested I spend some time at the London

    Headquarters of Moral Re-armament at 45 Berkeley Square.

    Clive House, had been the home of Clive of India and had been

    purchased by friends of Dr. Buchman from all over the world as his

    home, where he could receive his many friends, who saw a united

    Europe, consisting of Soverein nations as the key to world peace.

    In his book Frank Buchman A Life Garth Lean writes:

    When in 1937, the year of King George VI's Coronation, Brown's

    Hotel could no longer provide the cut rates negotiated in the

    Depression, temporary offices and a flat nearby were taken.

    It was not until 1938 that the problem was solved by the purchase of

    45 Berkeley Square, as a centre for hospitality and administration.

    The house had been the home of Lord Clive of India and its reception

    rooms, designed by Sir William Kent and Sir William Chambers, were

    ideal for large-scale meetings and entertaining. The Earl of Powys,Lord Clive, agreed to the use of the name 'Clive House', while

    regretting that, as far as he knew, the tradition that Lord Clive's

    ghost appeared from time to time was without foundation.

    (* A 99-year lease of the house was bought for 35,000 and wasthe property of the Oxford Group.)

    On Buchman's sixtieth birthday in June 1938, while there was still no

    furniture or carpets in the house and nothing but hessian on the walls,

    a dinner for 200 was held for him there.

    It was an occasion which reflected his years in Britain.

    The white-haired Cockney, Tod Sloan, sat next to Lady Antrim

    (formerly Lady-in-waiting to the Queen). Today, few would raise an

    eyebrow, but in those days this was a veritable social revolution).

    Sloan was one of the few speakers.

    'In Tidal Basin', he said, 'the people are really hungry for this newleadership. There are many homes in West Ham, East Ham, Barking,

    Ilford and Dagenham where whole families are living this quality of

    life. We must see its meaning is kept intact, that it stays a living,

    loving, obedient willingness to restore God to leadership and not

    merely words to use as a slogan.'Buchman recalled his first days in Cambridge when he felt that God

    had promised him a rebirth of Christian living in Britain within ten

    years. 'There was no Browns then; only my knees,' he said.

    Now he was looking forward to using this new house as a 'spiritual

    embassy' in the middle of London.

    Understanding LifeDuring my time there I met many people from all walks of life, races,

    colours and creeds, eager to deepen their faith and understanding of

    life itself, and to do what they could, to help their country recover

    from the war years.

    Tod Sloan was one of them.Diminutive in size, tenacious in character, Tod gave out an infectious

    6/25

    warmth and caring one could hardly believe, considering his exploited

    and often bitter background. He was indeed a transformed individual.

    This was confirmed by those I met, who knew him in his revolutionary

    days in Eastham.

    Tod, however made it quite plain to all he met that he was now

    engaged in a far greater revolution to offer the secret of change in

    the hearts and lives of men and women from whatever area of life

    they might come, starting with himself.

    Many today want to change the system. To this system change Tod

    had given his whole life, with disappointing results and with beatings

    and imprisonment as his reward.

    Tod now was totally clear that unless this change started with the

    individual, no change in the system would have lasting results. This

    was no happy clappy, pie in the sky, do good endeavour, but would

    be anchored in obedience to His Creator alone and a change in his

    nature, as he was enabled.

    Somebody explained this way of life as a democracy, designed by

    God and worked by everybody.

    My final recollection of Tod was several years later.

    Tirley Garth

    It was atTirley Garth, another beautiful home, overlooking the rich

    agricultural Cheshire landscape. This had been given to MRA in trust

    by Irene Prestwich and had been built by Irenes father, a successful

    Liverpool businessman.

    Irene, whom I got to know well during the years I was at Tirley

    helping to run this Centre, not only gave the only home she had, but

    gave generously of what income she possessed, in belief that God

    would provide abundantly, as she obeyed Him.

    Tirley Garth became the focus of a work that stretched through the

    docks of Liverpool, the coal and pottery industry of North

    Staffordshire, throughout the Midlands and Birmingham, and finally

    across to the Yorkshire and Derbyshire coal fields. This is anotherstory which may come later, but none less intriguing than the one we

    are about to explore.

    These where Tods final days, when illness had confined him to his

    bed. He was then in his 90s.

    Perched on his bed, I listened as he spoke to me about the need of

    the Love of God in people. He was wholly convinced, however, that

    such love could only be shown through obedience to the Almighty.

    Love was no sloppy, sentimental emotional thing for Tod, for he

    recognized the true source. Above his bed, I remember, was framed

    God is Love. It was Tods conviction that this kind of lovewas born out of obedience, where he explained Gods Will crosses my

    will and I choose Gods Will. This challenged me deeply.

    Solution to the 1948 National Dock strike and Backto London.

    Then there was Jack Manning, the leader of the 1948 dock strike,

    which crippled the country by stopping dead all imports and exports

    from and to this small island.

    Through the influence of friends, Jack too had found an answer to his

    bitterness against the dock employers, and a new family relationshipat home. Within days, this strike, which had cost this country

    248,000,000, which was a crippling sum of money in those days, had

    been settled.

    People especially those in the left wing of politics and in the press

    accused Frank Buchman and people like Jack of strikebreaking, but

    7

    8/25

    the cure went far deeper than that. By such remarks,these people

    simply showed their ignorance and prejudices. It was understandable

    however, for they were oblivious to the fact that God, who had a plan,

    had always been in charge, and when obeyed would respond with the

    appropriate solutions.

    The significant thing to me about this solution was that no one

    appeared to 'set out' to solve this dispute, The solution was born

    through listening to God, in other words Guidance, received by Jack

    and a few of his friends and which Jack obeyed. People simply do not

    know today a fundamental fact of life stated clearly in the Bible:

    For God is not theauthorofconfusion, but ofpeace..

    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, andoflove, andof asoundmind.

    1 Corinthians14:33; 2 Timothy 1:7

    These are not platitudinous, pie in the sky quotations,but reality as to how Our Creator means us to live! Just asthe Law of Gravity works scientificaly, so do the above facts, if put

    into action!

    This newfound infectious life inspired many a revolutionary trades

    unionist and employer to move forward to that greater revolution,where hatred of some was supplanted by a growing and continuing Love

    and respect for all.

    Today, we hope industrial relations have moved on, and people are

    much more accepting of each others foibles, but in those days class

    and racial strife, fomented by Communism and left and right-wing

    politics, highlighted such moves to reconciliation as being unusual.

    Inspiration Among the Pots and Pans

    Fred Copeman, an impressive, broad shouldered, six-foot plus

    individual, with a boxers chin and nose to match, turned up one day in

    8

    8

  • 7/27/2019 WDWGFH Ch 4 f

    9/25

    the basement of Clive House, where after a healthy meal, volunteers

    could offer their services to wash up the considerable pile of dishes,

    pots and pans that had collected.

    Fred had for many year served as a member of the British CommunistParty National Executive, and was another who grasped the

    commonsense reality of Buchmans approach to seemingly unsolvable

    problems.

    Fred, like George Vaughan in South Wales, had also been

    trained in Moscow as a Communist, and had at one time been a leader

    of the International Brigade in Spain. (See Chapter 3 of Where Do

    We Go From Here? )

    In animated discussion, Fred further enlightened, what now

    increasingly appeared to be my naive approach to life, which had

    already been severely shaken.

    It is perhaps understandable that I used to enjoy my excursions into

    the basement of 45 Berkeley Square, for one never knew whom one

    would meet, and what might be the outcome.

    The cellars in this home had been converted during the war years into

    an air raid shelter, and subsequently into dining room and kitchen

    facilities.

    There were only a handful of paid staff, I think about two or three,

    to do a essential skilled work, such as building maintenance.

    A former skilled employee from Maples, the famous London furniture

    firm, was a great and much loved character, the name of whom

    escapes me. Everything else in headquarters of this worldwide work

    had to be run on a voluntary basis, supplied mainly by willing helpers,

    from various parts of the Home Counties, who seemed to materialize

    mysteriously at the right moment.

    The War was Used by Communism to Take ControlIn Europe Communism A Force then and to-day!

    In those days Communism was a tremendous force in Britain.

    During the war, Stalin had seized the opportunity when Russia was our

    ally, to infiltrate our education, trade unions, parliament, the church

    and every other significant area of control, including our media and

    education. Yet, as today, a remarkably few people seem to be aware

    that this was so, or if aware, seemed unconcerned. At least that was

    my experience when talking to people.

    Not so Frank Buchman, and those trained by him.

    The disturbing thing also today is, that very few seem to realize that

    with the demolishing of the Berlin Wall, Communism was not

    demolished with it; indeed it is flourishing today, but in a covert and

    more sinister way.

    Gorbachev, under whose Presidency the demolishing of the Wall was

    allowed, has drifted into the mystical back rooms of the New WorldOrder, another headline that barely gets a mention in the Media

    these days, but still we now know he plays a significant role in its

    development.

    Now the secret operations are considerably advanced and appear

    under different names, such as the New World Order, theIlluminati, the Bilderberg Group, the Tavistock Institute in

    London and the Council of Foreign Relations, to mention but a few.

    The European Union is also heavily infiltrated, but has now reached

    the ultimate synthesis, always envisaged by Marx, Lenin and the

    subsequent Communist leadership.

    After the titanic struggle between Capitalism and Communism,

    especially since the last war, the always planned synthesis is now

    happening under the auspices of the Vatican Jesuits and their helpers

    like Michael Gorbachev! Why do you think Tony Blair and otherprominent Western leaders are putting on the Vatican mantle? Why

    do you think the world, both East and West, pay homage to the Pope?

    Even the United Nations has its Communist- Capitalist agenda as its

    main plank, planned by powerful minds, as the future Global

    Government unfolds. It is well known that the UN is riddled with

    Communists, fellow travelers and New Age occultists.

    The overall aim is a simple one to shortly announce a WorldGovernment, with a new World Army, a World Security Police and

    Intelligence presence and a World Religion, led by the by the present

    Pontiff.

    This will be used to control a world population compliant through mind

    control and tight Security, just as George Orwell in his epic book

    1984 foretold.

    Fortunately for us, the Almighty has different ideas which he is

    about to uneash and is offered as a LIFELINE to all who wish

    and have the common sense to take it.

    Later you will see a video about the Occult agenda of the United

    Nations and its sinister controlling role today in world affairs, which

    the glazed eyes of our main media fails to research and we allow to

    happen!

    The Long View

    Satan, whom the Bible refers to as the Angel of light and his

    11

    11

  • 7/27/2019 WDWGFH Ch 4 f

    12/25

    henchmen have been planning these things for eons.

    In the days of the great Bible believing preachers like Luther, Calvin,

    Moody, Wesley, Henry Drummond, Sturgen and others, most were all

    too aware of Satans presence and constantly engaged their audiencein this reality. They spoke of the responsibility of Christians in

    effective Spiritual Warfare against the Devil and all his works.

    In fact, if my memory serves me right from my Church of England

    days, those very words are the responsibility of Godparents.

    Through the channel of Harry Potter and numerous other so-calledfairy tales and entertainment in books and multi-million-dollar

    films in Hollywood, most fail to discern the sign of the times, in spite

    of the fact that the Bible gives us ample clues.

    Most homes and centers of education have jettisoned that book long -

    but not Frank Buchman. To him the Bible was not to be waved

    around and glibly quoted, but to be revered and obeyed as the

    reality of life. This often gave him the insight as to the true intents

    of the person to whom he was speaking, which could be embarrassing!

    I remember being told of an incident, when Buchman was entertaining

    the Prime Minister of an Asian country. Across the table sat his Chief

    Adviser in Cabinet. Frank, after the meal turned to his guest and said,

    you want to watch that man, he is a plant in your Cabinet or words

    to that effect.

    It later turned out that hed been placed there by the Communist

    Party, and was able to dominate that politician through blackmail in his

    personal life.

    Sadly this is also happening in many cases today at great cost to those

    governed! It is also worth considering, that because many of us who

    are the governed, because we may be compromised in our own lives,

    are either too blind or unwilling to do anything affective about it.

    This was the fact that struck home to me those many years ago at

    Pirbright, and mercifully I was shown what I could do. Again you can

    read about this if you wish in Chapter 2 of this book the LINK of

    which is at the end.

    We get the Leaders we deserve

    Today it is significant that the country of which this politician was

    Prime Minister, is in the vice like grip of a dictatorship.although mostpeople dont realise this. Sadly he did not take the hint from Frank

    Buchman. The reality is that whether of the right or left, Communist

    or Fascist, it matters not, whoever is living in that country have lost

    their freedom, and nobody, for whatever reason, as with Mugabe in

    Zimbabwe, seems to be inclined or able to do much about it!

    This intrigue and deception is going on today at all levels in all

    countries, including Britain.

    You might like to look at this recent video, which will bring you up-to-

    speed as to what is now going on in this country and Europe.

    The author, Brian Gerrish, a former Royal Naval Commander, who held

    high intelligence clearance, as he hunted down Soviet Nuclear

    Submarines during the Cold War. He has now turned his abilities to

    sniffing out the latest strategies of the extreme left and right in

    Britain, and points to our governments true intentions in taking us intoEurope and their sinister plan for our childrens education:

    The First Japanese Delegation to visit the West

    After the War.

    A strong parliamentary group of some 70 leaders from Japan,

    the first official delegation from Japan to visit the West sincethe war, where entertained at Clive House on their way to Caux

    in 1948.

    At that time, Mike and Margaret Barrett had asked me to help

    in the running of the home. What happened during that time at

    Clive House and the remarkable outcome, is told in another

    chapter of this book, which will shortly appear.

    A brief incident, however, which at the time causedconsiderable concern and is embedded on my memory.

    The Japanese apparently have not only a passion for cleanliness

    and enjoy frequent bathing, but have a practice of allowing the

    water to run continuously. One evening several of us where

    discussing matters in one of the rooms in Clive House, which

    supported a magnificent Adams ceiling decorated with

    embossed goldleaf.

    A mysterious sound of dripping water could be heard, to be

    followed with an increasing wet patch on the guilded ceiling.

    Ascending the spiral staircase as fast as I could muster, I

    found water issuing from the bath room on the floor above.

    Through the door I tried to explain to the occupant what was

    happening. Finally, the flood was stemmed, and the problem

    dealt with. Fortunately, it was possible to dry out the sealing,

    and minimal damage was done. Our upset guest was overcomewith distress and apologized profusely.

    Some Lessons Learned

    evel.

    As interference on radio or TV reception cause problems, so

    interference of guidance by a sources other than the Spirit of

    God, can cause confusion and had to be dealt with, before a

    satisfactory solution could be found. Since we were dealing with

    people, the often well-meaning but blundering efforts of man

    seemed only to exacerbate the problem.Only solutionsoriginating with the Creator seemed to bring effective

    conclusions.

    Of course, being human, we did not always get it right! The

    experiment nevertheless was fun, and when it was working, life

    seemed full of surprises!

    The Barretts had spent many years working closely with Frank

    Buchman and although challenging, the influence of Franks

    wisdom, his concern for people, detail, humour and sense of fun

    was infectious.

    Garth Lean in his book gives something of what it was like to

    work around Buchman:

    At Whitsun 1935 Buchman's secretary, Joyce Machin,

    died suddenly of a tumour of the brain. Michael Barrett and

    another young Scot, Lawson Wood, volunteered to take on her

    duties.

    Barrett was the son of an Edinburgh printer and had been in

    the Oxford ju-jitsu team. Wood had read law at Aberdeen.

    Both were around 25, and each had an ample supply of Scots

    determination and pride. They learnt typing andspeed-writingand set to work.

    Barrett, who married one of Lloyd George's grand-daughters,

    remarked recently that he much preferred A.J. Sylvester's to

    the other lives of Lloyd George, 'because it showed

    how impossible it was to be his secretary'. 'Like Buchman,' he

    added with a smile.

    For one thing, he explained, Buchman, often seemed astonished

    if letters he dictated were not perfectly typed and ready for

    the post the moment they had left his mouth, besides

    expecting you to know to whom he was writing withoutbeingtold.

    Once theywere in Egypt together and, while they showed their

    travelling companions the citadel above Cairo, Buchmanremarked, 'We must write so-and-so.' Directly they got into

    the taxi to return to Cairo, Buchman began dictating, and

    continued, without let-up,through a series of tunnels in

    complete darkness. 'I got most of it, and remembered or made

    up the rest,' said Barrett.

    John Faber, a former naval officer, ran the MRA publications

    with Rex Dilly under Ken Belden, in whose home John Faber and

    I lived for some time, at 43 Charles Street, a stones throw

    from 45 Berkley square. Ken and Stella Belden where a jovial

    warm-hearted couple, and included me in their family affairs in

    a wonderful way.

    Before working with the Barretts, my job was to help John and

    Rex. This meant mainly parcelling and dispatching worldwide the

    numerous and ever increasing documents, books and pamphlets

    as they rolled off the presses. To help us, friends from

    throughout the London area would travel into Hayes Mews to

    give their time.

    The day would usually start with a brief meeting, when with

    these volunteers, we would all assemble briefly, to exchange

    ideas as appropriate, and then decide together, where the days

    priority lay. Life bubbled with laughter and much leg pulling.

    Through it all, however, the needs of people where in the

    forefront of our minds.

    We often found that as a result of waiting on guidance to

    mature, problems seemed to solve themselves on the hoof asit where.

    Intuition

    Intuition pressed itself to the fore; where previously I had just

    ignored it, now I became acutely aware of such innerprompting. A simple thought enacted, could change the whole

    tenor of life, and we soon discovered that problems solved in

    families, sometimes transformed into solutions in industry and

    the nation.

    The arrogance of an over confident former young Guards

    Officer is small beer for the Almighty to overcome!

    One day, Rex Dilly, whose pride and joy was his newly re-structured Austin Seven daubed in dark green paint, took the

    rash decision to announce that he would appreciate my help in

    fetching his car from its garage in Hayes Mews, as he was

    pressed for time.

    As the engine burst into life, the reverse gear was engaged, and

    we majestically reversed out of the garage.

    When time came to apply the brakes, my foot also engaged theaccelerator, which for those who know this car, is an easy thing

    to do. We hit the oncoming loo with considerable force,with

    resultant damage to Rexs idol.

    Rex was not amused! Even my worst dressings down by

    Regimental Sergeant Major Timmy Brittain, who was known for

    his withering outbursts, during my time at the Officers

    Training Unit at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, seemed to pale

    into insignificance, compared with the tirade meted out by Rex.

    I began to realized that lessons learned from an awakenedconscience were far more meaningful and permanent than human

    discipline, although this certainly has its part.

    Another lesson was that where the Almighty is allowed to

    intervene, true healing is often brought. True Peace lies alone in

    the Author of Peace.

    Sadly, one can only assume, The Prince of Peace does not get

    much of a look-in these days in many of this worldspeacemaking achievements, as sincere and worthy as they may

    seem to be! These days, my recipe is to do what I am told by

    the Almighty to the best of my ability, and then leave it in his

    hands.

    Ken and Stella Belden with Stellas brother Oliver Corderoy

    were wonderful, caring hosts to John Faber and myself in their

    home at 43 Charles Street, which was just round the corner

    from Hayes Mews. The Beldens home was a real house full,

    comprising some 14 people, as far as I can remember, including

    the Beldens and their two delightful children, David and Hilary.

    Lifes memories highlight certain events. Oliver Corderoy, also

    living in the home, spotted a certain missing dimension in my

    life, and presented me with the epic poem The Hound of

    Heaven by Francis Thompson.

    Not being one for poetry in those days I approached it with no

    great enthusiasm.

    However, like and the play The Forgotten Factor, it

    somehow sneaked under my radar. Its effect was to focus for

    me how God had in his love dealt with me since the beginning of

    my experiment at Pirbright.

    I began to see that the Almighty, once he has made up his mind

    to call a person, like the great fisherman He is, plays His

    quarry with patience but firmness, while allowing him sufficient

    scope to venture into all sorts of blind allies. It was throughsuch blind alleys, valuable lessons where beginning to be

    learned.

    The primary lesson to be learnt I began to understand was

    obedience to what My Maker told me! Once learnt, the rod and

    line are then withdrawn, and a new freedom is discovered with

    the love and protection that goes with it!

    Here are those lines that made such an impression:

    The Hound of Heaven

    by Francis Thompson

    I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years;

    I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways

    Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears

    I hid from Him, and under running laughter.

    Up vistaed hopes I sped;

    And shot, precipitated,

    Adown Titanic glooms of chasmd fears,

    From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.But with unhurrying chase,

    And unperturbd pace,

    Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

    They beatand a Voice beat

    20

    20

  • 7/27/2019 WDWGFH Ch 4 f

    21/25

    More instant than the Feet

    All things betray thee, who betrayest Me.

    . . . . .

    Fear wist not to evade as Love wist to pursue.

    Still with unhurrying chase,

    And unperturbd pace,

    Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

    Came on the following Feet,

    And a Voice above their beat

    Naught shelters thee, who wilt not shelter Me.

    . . . . . . .

    How hast thou merited

    Of all mans clotted clay the dingiest clot?

    Alack, thou knowest not

    How little worthy of any love thou art!

    Whom wilt thou find to love ignoble thee,

    Save Me, save only Me?

    All which I took from thee I did but take,

    Not for thy harms,But just that thou mightst seek it in My arms.

    All which thy childs mistake

    Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home:

    Rise, clasp My hand, and come!

    The afternoons and evenings were often spent at the Westminster

    Theatre where The Forgotten Factor was showing, which originally

    had had such an impact on my life at Pirbright..

    Audiences flooded in from all over the country; from the mining

    areas of Yorkshire, South Wales, the Durham Coal Fields, from the

    docks of London and Liverpool, from the Potteries of North

    Staffordshire, and indeed from all walks of life.

    The impact of this one production on the life of Britain was

    impressive, and was being recognized as such by all strata's of

    society, although it also had its many enemies. After eachperformance, animated conversation took place, as those gripped by

    the play sought to find out why they had been so deeply effected by

    the plays message.

    When to their astonishment they discovered that the secret lay in

    the simple concept involving a change in themselves, not

    surprisingly perhaps, many headed for the exit. Others stayed on to

    go more deeply into the realisation; a few decided to participate in

    this unique experiment, and continued for life!

    Reunification of Europe.

    A war-torn Europe, which I was now to enter, spoke of the need for

    a permanent peace, for a people throughout the Continent, who had

    suffered deeply over the past hundred years with constant war.Some of their leaders, such as Adenauer, de Gasperi and Schuman,

    had a vision of a Europe united above nationality. It was into this

    situation that I now found myself entering.

    As we the Cast and Backstage Crew mingled with the audience after

    each play we staged in Germany, they were thoroughly confused by

    what the Americans and others were offering in terms of

    Democracy, for wasnt it from something like failed Democray that

    Hitler had retrieved them?

    I can remember vividly being confronted by these formerly Nazis

    mind- manipulated people and their bemusement at the judgemental

    attitude other nations had towards them.

    How could one approach this, and how did Frank Buchman and his

    Group approach it, and with what result? This is to be the subject of

    the next chapter.

    In their ideological approach, they saw a just cause to rid their nation

    of chaos, which much of the world felt was the result of the draconian

    impositions put on them through the Versailles Treaty after World

    War I.

    This many felt had unjustlly brought the nation to its knees

    economically and politically and opened the door to Hitler.

    Among other things, Hitler got the trains running on time and

    recovered order and self-respect to the German people, which they

    recognised and for which they were grateful. Therefore, any

    measures taken were justified in their eyes, even the destruction of

    the Jewish race, whom we now know they regarded falsly as part of

    the cause of their problem. It now is known, as this video points out,

    many German through the propaganda fed them, knew nothing of the

    Concentration camp atrocities.

    Somehow, this was the mindset, which Frank Buchman and we in his

    Group of would-be peacemakers had to overcome , if a solution was

    to be found for Europe. Many on the Allied side saw this arrogant

    attitude in the Germans as the main problem, and again were keen to

    follow the failed Versailles Treaty of imposing harsh victors terms

    on the vanquished, which seemed justified.

    23

    Frank Buchman was clear that this arrogant attitude to a

    conquered people would not work and shocked many friends and

    foes alike by inviting senior Germans to Caux immediately after

    the Armistice, including some half-dozen Generals.

    There was, however, another secretive plan being worked out,

    unknown to Europeans, and most of the British and American people.

    It was,however, known and encouraged by some of the Intelligance

    Services of both Europe and America including elements of MI6. This

    was Operation Paperclip,which in hindsight is now fully

    acknowledged, and lends a 007 background to the fledgling coming

    European Union and its now sinister Nazis-Communits future, about

    which Brian Gerish in his film explained earlier in this Chapter.

    So monstrous and credulous is the re-incarnation of the possibility of

    Nazism and Communism to most thinking people, that its has taken me

    years to come to term with the reality of what is now happening. Had

    I not come across the possibilty in many passages of the Bible, I would

    have given it the same treatment that the majority did then!

    At this point perhaps I should clarify my involvement with a supposed friend

    of President Nkruma, who had spent time in prison with Nkruma during the

    Kennedys Presidency.

    I apologise for such namecalling, but since it is true, I will include it here.

    One of my first assignments when I got out to Caux, Switzerland

    www.uk.iofc.org was to be rooming with a supposed supporter and co-prisoner

    of the Nkrumah, when he we imprisoned by the British Government in Ghana.

    One day, I met Frank Buchman in the passage way in Moutain House,

    supported by Peter Howard, for Frank was recovering from a serious stroke,.

    I had with me this soulmate of Nkrumah, who had been in prison with the

    President.

    Frank stopped when he got to us, and said something to this efffect, point

    to my roomate, You are a Communist Plant, and I want you to leave this

    Conference this afternoon on the next train, and dont ever come back!

    Imagine my astonishment not only at both Franks outburst, but also at the

    fact that I had not understood the situation, and the resulting danger to the

    Conference and all that Frank was trying to do! This would be a lesson I will

    always remember and be grateful for.

    I had written numerous letters to My adopted Father and Lucile, his wife as

    we journeyed through Europe and America with Frank Buchman and his

    Group. These are my memories experienced at the time, and therefore to me

    genuine and special.
