Brother Neville Brittain Passed Away
Pastor Neville S. Brittain went peacefully to rest in the Lord at the age of 85 in Sydney Australia at 4:00 a.m. EST on Friday, March 28, 2014.
A native of Australia, Bro. Brittain came to the SDA Reform Movement in his youth and from that time he served extensively in medical missionary work as a licensed naturopath. He was quite knowledgeable in many subjects, yet he had a certain grace and humility characteristic of true Christian faith.
Bro. Brittain was a man of integrity and principle with a great love for the present truth. As a minister of the gospel, he taught the message in his native country and served as Regional Secretary in Africa for 12 years. He also served as Regional Secretary for Asia and the Pacific.
From 1991 to 1995 Bro. Brittain was the President of the General Conference and also served as GC Vice President before returning to Australia to retire. During his retirement years he was still quite active, cheerfully assisting when needed.
Many souls were greatly blessed by the faithful courage of this man of God and were tremendously benefitted by his honest, practical ministry. He will be greatly missed by all.
Our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Bet, and to his six grown children, their spouses, and his grandchildren.
—General Conference
