Biography of JOHN BRADBURNE in Short
(1921-1979)
John Bradburne was born to a normal family in Cumbria, England. He had to put his studies on hold when war broke out in 1939.
During the war, he served with the Gurkhas: soldiers from Nepal who were recruited into the British army. He defended Singapore, living for months in a jungle when it fell and was then shipwrecked while trying to escape. This caused him to have a religious experience.
Back in England, John stayed for a while with an order of monks, before setting out on his travels through France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt Then John found the place where he felt his help was needed most.
Mutemwa is a leper colony in Zimbabwe, a country in southern Africa. The inhabitants of Mutemwa all suffer from a disease called leprosy, which can cause sight loss, nerve damage, and the loss of fingers, toes, hands, and feet. In the past, people believed that leprosy was contagious. Even though we know today that isn’t true, many people suffering from the condition are still forced to live separate to everyone else.
John found the people in Mutemwa starving, dirty, and living in ramshackle huts. He moved in alongside them. John clipped nails, chased away rats, brought food, sang songs, and fixed up buildings. He did everything he could to improve the lives of the people in Mutemwa.
One day the association that ran Mutemwa kicked John out. Why? Because he didn’t like the people who lived there being known by numbers, so he gave them all names, and he insisted that everyone was given at least a loaf of bread a week.
John wouldn’t leave the people he’d promised to help. For the rest of his days, he lived on a nearby mountain, traveling down every day to help the residents of Mutemwa.
Pilgrims still travel to John’s shrine a Mutemwa and a charity started in his name continues to look after people suffering from leprosy. It’s hoped that the Church will soon declare him a saint.
