Worrall, Ambrose Alexander (1899-1972)

Engineer and spiritual healer. He was born on January 18, 1899, at Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire, England. He studied mechanical engineering. In 1928 he married Olga Nathalie Ripich Worrall. For 30 years (1924-64) he was employed by the Martin Company, Baltimore, Maryland, and worked as a consultant for various firms in the years after his retirement.

He and his wife worked quietly as spiritual healers for many years, but their work gained a wider audience after the founding of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship (now the International Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship) in the 1950s. They became leaders in the organization. They also contributed to the annual seminars on spiritual healing held by the Laymen's Movement, Wainwright House, Rye, New York. Worrall's interests included clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, psycho-kinesis, psychometry, and theories of survival. He lectured widely on ESP and spiritual healing at colleges, churches, and other associations and published several pamphlets on spiritual healing and related subjects. He died on February 2, 1972.
