Gladys aylward
« on: Thursday 08 September 11 20:23 BST (UK) »
Hi there... My mum says she remembers meeting Gladys aylward at a church in Bedworth in the late 40's or early 50's, but has no info and can't remember details. Does anyone have any info?
Thanks

All I can find so far Sunflower is that Gladys Aylward did indeed return to the UK in the 1940's and stayed for ten years before returning to China.She always wrote to her mother and she spread through congregations in the UK stories of her daughter's work so that by the time Gladys returned to England she was a famous missionary.I would think it was highly likely she visited church congregations herself to talk of her work.

I,ve just picked up this thread after a long time - I remember seeing Gladys Aylward in about 1965 when she visited a church in Bradford to speak.  So she must have been doing a tour around Uk at that time.

Me again - I've just checked and it was actually 1963.
