Junction City Meeting Room, KS

From 1908-1927, there was a Tunbridge-Wells exclusive meeting in Junction City, Riley, Kansas that may have left the TW's and joined with a Grant exclusive meeting by 1933, as Virgle A. Britt & F.E. Britt were residing there in that year, and were affiliated with the Grants. Nearby meetings connected with this included one in Manchester, one near Carlton, south of Abilene called the Newbern Assembly, which was itself a split from another Grant meeting, Grace and Truth Gospel Hall down the road. There was also a Grant brother living in Lawrence in 1933.

At BrethrenArchive.com can be found a lengthy document between A.E. Booth and Wilfred Ames protesting a situation with an assembly in London, England known as Kingsland which was allegedly going open. The document includes transcriptions from a couple dozen letters around the U.S. that similarly protested, including one from Abilene, marked Aug. 4, 1933 that stated, "we approve the Minneapolis, Dunkirk and other similar letters" with regard to their circulars. The letter was signed the following from Abilene:

• R.A. Deardorff
