| Summary: | This article offers an outline of the life and work of Ada Mary Esselbach-Whiting (1867-1927). It demonstrates that she is a good example of a woman who made her own decisions within the limitations of her time. That became apparent from her decision to join the Church Army and after she left it to move to Antwerp some years later. There she managed a Sailors' Rest for several years, enabling her to preach the gospel by words and deeds. During the Great War she stayed with her German husband in Belgium, although circumstances were difficult. While in many ways her views were conventional and determined by her Anglican background, her decision to join the Pentecostal movement was also evidence of an independent mind. |
