ABSTRACT
Christabel spent the last eighteen years of her life in the United States, mainly in the vicinity of Los Angeles on the sunny East Coast. In summer 1941, Christabel was one of twenty-three main speakers at the forty-seventh annual summer Winona Lake Bible Conference, and by the winter of that year was a house guest at the palatial home of Mrs Francis de Lacy Hyde, in Plainfield, New Jersey, where Aurea had initially stayed after leaving Oxford. Over the next couple of years, Christabel continued with her preaching and travelling, also engaging in outreach pastoral work with young soldiers. One woman who felt she did not owe a great debt to Christabel was Aurea. Although both enjoyed living in the United States, the tensions between them had not been resolved. Aurea, who had taken American citizenship and was living in New York, had difficulty keeping a job.
