Abstract
On the outbreak of war in 1914 Tyndale, Bristol was one of the British Baptist churches to offer hospitality to Belgian refugees. Bristol had responded to the government’s appeal to assist in making provision for them. Established in 1869, many of Tyndale’s members were prominent in civic affairs. The Minister, Herbert Morgan, was a pacifist, but his views on the war largely chimed with those of other Baptists. The Bertholet family from Dinant were among those to whom the church gave hospitality. They had experienced the horrors of the German invasion as described in contemporary accounts and by Henri Bertholet himself. The church’s welcome for these Roman Catholic people was in the context of its broad ecumenical attitude.
