Newell Snow Booth
- ... that during the Congo Crisis American Methodist bishop Newell Snow Booth was threatened at gun-point by a soldier before being released by an officer who recognised him? "Thirty and four years [1964] later Bishop Booth met me at the Elisabethville airport to travel together to the seat of the Central Conference. Driving toward Jadotville we were met by a military convoy and promptly halted. The bishop was wrestled into a ditch. a carbine at his throat. held there by an overly-energetic and not-reassuring young soldier. A lieutenant tumbled from a jeep. examined the young man's prize and ordered. "Give him his leave: he is a good man-a teacher-a man of God."' Their paths had crossed somewhere. I never knew where" from: "Booth, Bishop Newell S." (PDF). General Commission on Archives and History: Archives Center Catalog. United Methodist Church. Retrieved 2 July 2020.
