להגדלת הטקסט להקטנת הטקסט

William Lovell Hull (1897-1992) was a Canadian Christian Zionist minister from the Winnipeg Zion Apostolic Church. He had moved to Jerusalem in 1935 with his wife and daughter, and opened the Zion Christian Mission in a small shop on the Street of the Prophet. The Hulls witnessed the creation of the modern State of Israel and had greatly influenced the events surrounding its founding, after Hull had had a meeting with Justice Rand in his role as Canada's representative on the UNSCOP commission in 1947. Hull was a strong supporter of the new state, and wrote in the 1950s two books about Israel and its history. In 1961, after the conviction of Adolf Eichmann and during the appeal process, he was appointed spiritual guide to Eichmann. With the translating help of his wife Lillian Hull, William Hull attempted to re-convert Eichmann to a believing Christian but failed. He attended the execution and also the spreading of the ashes of Eichmann. On his retirement and return to Canada, Hull wrote a book about his experience as a minister to Eichmann; in summary he was relieved that he couldn't convert Eichmann and had saved Christianity from such a monstrous fellow believer.
