Religious activity
Byatt joined Jehovah's Witnesses in c. 1939.[12] He had become an ordained minister within the denomination by 1956.[13] Apart from preaching, his activity included collecting books for the library of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead with future Governing Body member Albert Schroeder.[14]

In 2004, Byatt and other Jehovah's Witness writers published the anthology 'Your Word is Truth', Essays in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (1950, 1953), which included essays defending the New World Translation against criticism from non-Witnesses and a bibliography of works on the translation.[15][16][5] The work was published by the publishing company Golden Age Books, which Byatt directed and which was based in his residency in Malvern. The website of the company continues to be maintained after his death.[11]
