    William Theobald Frary was born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1904 to an Irish shoe foreman. He attended Boston University [4] , worked for a time as a press agent and eventually opened a public relations office. Politically, he sided with the Republican Party . He was founder and president of the Massachusetts Young People's Republican Club in Essex, Massachusetts.

    In 1929, he met the German Baroness Adelheid Maria von Blomberg (b. 1863, d. 1949), who had settled in the city in 1883. The Baroness took such a liking to William that she adopted him in November 1933. From then on, the 26-year-old William T. Frary was allowed to call himself Baron William T. Frary von Blomberg. In the summer of 1934, he sailed to Europe and visited his new relatives in Germany. The Baroness was the cousin of Werner Eduard Fritz von Blomberg , the German Reichswehr Minister, which is why William was personally introduced to the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler. Despite his second residence in Germany, William continued to live in the USA.

    Through his peerage, Baron William T. Frary von Blomberg moved in international diplomatic circles and soon learned to leverage his public position. In 1940, as International Secretary of the World Fellowship of Faiths for North and South America, he spoke out firmly against the anti-Jewish policies of the German Reich . [8] At the same time, he demanded that the US should stay out of an overseas war and not take part in it in any way. [9]

    After World War II , Blomberg turned to the Pentecostal movement in 1948 and supported the International Council for Christian Leadership (ICCL), founded in 1947, of which he became International Director. [10]

    When Communism was perceived as a new threat to the free world after the defeat of Nazi Germany , Baron William T. Frary von Blomberg advocated a common spiritual bulwark of Protestants , Catholics and Jews against Communism in order to prevent communist infiltration of countries impede. [11] He sometimes supported Christian evangelists who worked behind the Iron Curtain.

    He showed a strong commitment to exiled heads of state, such as Albanian King Ahmet Zogu, as well as to displaced people and minorities. Through his mediation, he persuaded US President Harry S. Truman to take in over a million Polish refugees. His commitment to the Armenian people earned him the friendship of the Armenian-American businessman Demos Shakarian, who founded the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) in 1951. Blomberg was elected International Vice President of the American Caribbean Missions by the Christian Businessmen's Fellowship Committee in Jamaica. He has appeared as a guest speaker at various Pentecostal events and has served as International Director of the World Congress of Faiths.

    Blomberg traveled to Europe, the Near and Middle East, Africa and Asia. On his trip to India in 1954 he was accompanied by healing evangelists William Branham and Ern Baxter, whom he had met through the FGBMFI. On the route he met with the exiled Egyptian King Faruq in Rome and with the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in Bonn. In West Germany, Blomberg campaigned for German refugees from the Eastern Bloc and campaigned for the interests of the displaced. His worldwide work brought him into contact with many leading figures, including Pope Pius XII, Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Prince Umberto of Italy, King Paul I of Greece, the Duke of Windsor, King Abdallah ibn Husayn I of Transjordan, Queen Friederike of Greece, King Gustav VI of Sweden, King Carol II of Romania, Prince Teymuraz Bagration of Georgia (1992), President Vincent Auriol of France, Federal Chancellor Leopold Figl of Austria, Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Albanian Pretender to the Throne Leka Zogu, Arab Prince Faisal ibn Abd al-Aziz, Patriarch Athinagoras of Constantinople (d. 1972), Patriarch Benedictus of Jerusalem (d. 1980), and Mormon President Ezra Taft Benson.

    In New Delhi in 1957, Baron Blomberg was elected Vice President of the World Fellowship of Religions founded by Kirpal Singh . [25] He held this office until his death. Over a decade later, the Shah of Iran , Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , appointed him vice chairman for the preparations for the 1971 2500 year celebration of Persia.

    Baron William T. Frary von Blomberg died in 1983.[1]

    ...there was a man amongst them called Count Faery Von Blomberg. Von Blomberg was the adopted son of, evidently, a Count and a Countess. And he was recognized as a Christian, evidently Full Gospel Businessmen circles, but he was a homosexual. And he approached a young man who was a Christian Pentecostal preacher named Sigfried Encke. I know what I’m talking about, because I know Sigfried Encke; met him in Columbus. He knew that I was a friend of Brother Branham’s and worked with him, so he amazingly told me his story, how that this man did everything he could to engage him in some illicit sexual affair. And believe me, I sweat to get around the problem and let him know that Brother Branham had nothing to do with anything like that.[2]
    ...there was with that group that went to Europe, a Christian Full Gospel businessman, identified with them, named Faery Von Blomberg—even the name is typical— Fairy? Not trying to be facetious, but look at it. It’s absolutely true. That was his name, and he was an avowed homosexual.<ref>Vayle, Lee, 'Godhead # 12 - The Fullness of the Godhead Bodily (July 2, 2000)
