Peter Capp

Peter first entered the Church in 1946 at the invitation of the then President Mr Lane. There were three Healers in attendance then, the President, “Big” Bill Woods and Mrs Shuttleworth. Mr Lane usually worked on his own, the other two had helpers. Mrs Shuttleworths’ helper was unfortunately unable to continue and I was asked to take her place, a big step for me being only 21 years old.

 

As time went on I was given my own healing chair. To give us more room for healing, chairs had to be piled at one end of the church. The church at that time was in the foyer, there was no foyer and I cannot remember any toilets and very little heating. No tea making facilities and where the kitchen is now was the rostrum. Our Sunday services were well attended and there were other services such as Psychometry where those attending put personal items on a tray for the medium to choose from. This cost an extra sixpence (21/2 p) per person. I remember one gentleman who read the bumps on your head!.

 

There was often talk of a new church, one of the ideas of raising money for the new church was to hold bazaars which were quite successful.Unfortunately, I had to leave the Church in 1953 because of family and work commitments, but I am happy to say I returned 10 years ago.
