Robert Roberts in North America
By PETER HEMINGRAY & BILL LINK
Bill Link and Peter Hemingray trace Robert Roberts’ repeated visits across North America in the late 1800s, showing how his preaching, travel, and pastoral labor helped strengthen early ecclesias during a formative period. The series highlights the scale of his journeys, the challenges he faced, and the lasting impact of his efforts on Christadelphian life and organization across the continent.
Part 1
Few know that Robert Roberts, the first Editor of The Christadelphian, and the source of much of our original literature, was on the continent seven times from 1871 to 1898. He crisscrossed west to east, north to Nova Scotia, and south to Virginia.
Part 2
He had given structure and vigor to the Christadelphians, traveling much of the world to spread the message from 1864 on.
