Gibraltar Methodist Chapel Growth Amid War Dispersals
A Gibraltar Methodist society grows despite expulsion orders and wartime dispersals. A chapel funded by members cost over 1201. sterling with no debt. Numbers rose from about sixty to congregations of 200–390 before later dwindling to 34–35 as regiments moved to Minorca Malta and Egypt. The system uses a eleven member committee, monthly accounts, trial admittance, and orderly discipline. The writer sees God at work, praying for return of prosperity and a lasting witness.
