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.

  • THE SALVATION ARMY—A STUDY in COMPLIANCE by Peter Jacob
    THE SALVATION ARMY—A STUDY IN COMPLIANCE by Peter Jacob Letkemann B.A., Bethel College, Kansas, 1961 A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfilment of The Reguirements For The Degree of Master of Arts in the department of Anthropology and Sociology We accept this Thesis as conforming to the required standard: The University of British Columbia September 1965 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives„ It is understood that copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department ABSTRACT The compliance relationship between The Salvation Army Corps Officer and his superiors is analysed with reference to appointments, trans• fers and promotions. 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. Crook and Dr. Werner Cohn, for help and valuable suggestions; To my wife, Katie, for typing and much encouragement; To the Officers and other members of The Salvation Army, for making available their time and sharing their experiences.
