But the Woking mission was the Lahore Ahmadiyya's mission, and affiliation with it — presidency, chairmanship, a teacher — is adjacency, never a personal attestation: no source records him professing Ahmadi doctrine or naming any school, and his own books present a deliberately non-sectarian Islam.
