Lisa King tells how she spent three months at the Army’s Chikankata Hospital in Zambia, a Give yourself geographical and cultural relocation that brought many challenges. She experienced sadness at the deaths of so many children but also joy when others survived against all odds. Then in Summer Schools news a fright a delegate says God has been teaching her that ‘anything is possible with him by my side’. And in the New Commitments pages we read of people who are stepping out on the adventure of their lives, some for the first time, others picking up where they left off years ago. Either way, we celebrate their ongoing faith journeys. I’m thankful for the adventure of living in the UK – meeting new people, seeing historical places, putting up with English cricket fans when their team beats the Australians. But there is nothing more exciting than a faith adventure, a willingness to be discontent with spiritual mediocrity, a desire to be God-ready. In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14–30) Jesus urges his listeners to live adventurously. When the master in the story returns from his trip and asks what the workers have done with his money, he is furious with the one who did little LEANOR Roosevelt, former First with what he’d been given.

And get rid or face certain experiences head-on. In of this “play-it-safe” who won’t go out on short, it means adventure. a limb’ (vv 26–30 The Message). Following Jesus is the same – an Our Salvation Army pioneers were adventure. It’s exciting when you feel always prepared to ‘go out on a limb’.

Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.

Structural aspects of power-positions, the reciprocal response of the Corps Officer and the elite to power, and the orientation of the Corps Officer to the power of the elite are studied. An attempt is made to understand the compliance of the Corps Officer by reviewing various aspects of the Officer's socialization process, such as recruit• ment selectivity, training program and the manipulation of prestige and ritualistic symbols. Additional material on The Salvation Army history, ethnography and organizational structure is included. i AGKNCWIEDGEMENTS To Dr. Martin Meissner, Dr. R. K.
