The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

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.

    GENERAL Of THE SALVATION ARMY William Booth, THE GENERAL OF THE SALVATION ARMY. BY COMMANDER BOOTH TUCKER. [COPYRIGHT.] PRICE, 10 CENTS. NEW YORK : THE SALVATION ARMY PRINTING AND PUBLISHING HOUSE, 122 WEST FOURTEENTH STREET. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1898 by Frederick de Lautour Booth-Tucker, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. In erclx. n, of 0. Pub .IJb, INTRODUCTION. " Some men," it has been said, " are born great, others achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them." General Booth belongs to those who have, in the teeth of adverse circumstances, " achieved greatness." He needs no introduction ; he requires no apology. Others may have a greater reputation within the borders of their own nation. We know of none in modern days* whose name, while still living, has become to such a degree a household word in every nation as a universal benefactor of mankind. Indeed, no nation can justly claim him as its own. He is the universal property of all. Wherever the poor man toils to earn his daily bread, wherever the submerged masses of the world send forth their piteous wail of heart- ache on God's air, wherever the sins and miseries of humanity have reached the utmost limits of endurance, the giant stride of this modern Apostle of Hope and Faith and Hard Work looms on the horizon, leaving footprints of'help and happiness behind. ~ Barriers that have heretofore seemed impervious to the advance alike of Science. ofPhilosophy and Statesmanship —fortresses of Vice and Crime,

  • Catherine Booth and Female Ministry
    Methodist History, 31:3 (April 1993) SETTLED VIEWS: CATHERINE BOOTH AND FEMALE MINISTRY ROGER J. GREEN Introduction The Christian church is coming to terms with the subject of women in ministry, looking yet again at the scriptures, reexamining church histot:Y and doctrine, and discovering that there is nothing but custom and prej­ udice which have prevented women from preaching the gospel. It is cer­ tainly possible that the argument for female ministry would not be as ad­ vanced as it is were it not for the writings of Catherine Booth dn this sub­ ject, as well as the witness of her own perso'rtal1Jlinistry and the ministry of thousands of women who followed her example in The Christian Mis­ sion and The Salvation Army. 1 This paper will examine Catherine Booth's views of female ministry which were developed within the context of her own life, thought, and ministry of preaching. Three important aspects will be demonstrated. First, her views of female ministry were the result of a gradual evolution in her own thought and experience. Her initial concerns were with the traditional prejudices against women having any equality with men -social, intellec­ tual, or spiritual. In due course, her thinking became more focused upon the specific issue of women's equality with men in the pulpit. Second, the issue of female ministry was so critical to Catherine Booth because she was convinced that this was biblically justified and mandated. She avidly defended her views from the Bible, and envisioned the use of women in ministry as an indispensable aspect of the stewardship of the gifts, talents, and abilities which God has graciously granted to both men and women in the church.

  • 36 Word & Deed the Differences Between the Seven-Point Statement and the Eleven-Point State
    36 Word & Deed The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point state­ ment particularly reflect The Salvation Army's Wesleyan doctrinal position. As a former Methodist New Connexion minister, William Booth was strongly Wesleyan. If anyone had asked William Booth who were his heroes of the faith, John Wesley is one he would have named. Speaking about his youth, Booth said: "I worshipped everything that bore the name of Methodist. To me there was one God, and John Wesley was his prophet. I had devoured the story of his life. No human composi­ tions seemed to me to be comparable to his writings ... " The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point statement can be seen at a glance: a) The original second article became two articles, now articles two and three, with additional words added to each section. b) Three new articles were introduced, now numbered eight, nine and 10. i) The first of the new articles (number eight) underlines the doctrine of justification by faith and the doctrine of assurance. It was evidently felt that the original article six was insufficient, and more needed to be added. Article eight provided what was missing, focusing particularly on the Wesleyan emphasis on assurance. ii) Article nine is an affirmation of John Wesley's concern about the teaching of eternal security or "once saved always saved" as it is sometimes summa­ rized. William Booth believed in the possibility of Christians backsliding, that they were kept in a state of grace on the same terms on which they were first saved.

FORT AMITY: AN EXPERIMENT IN DOMICULTURE. Unpublished Master of Arts thesis, University of Northern Colorado, 2011. In 1898, the Salvation Army ventured into a colonization project to take urban working poor people, relocate them to rural areas, and allow them to become productive agriculturalists. The impetus for the project was the book, In Darkest England and the Way Out (1890), by General William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. General Booth's daughter, Emma, and son-in-law, Fredrick St. George de Lautour Booth- Tucker, took charge of the Salvation Army in the United States in 1896, and took it upon themselves to carry out General Booth's plan in the United States.

May recently suggested that for the study and understanding of American culture, the recovery of American religious history may well be the most important achievement of the last thirty years. A vast and crucial area of American experience has been rescued from neglect and misunder­ standing. Puritanism, Edwardsian Calvinism, revivalism, liberal­ ism, modernism, and the social gospel have all been brought down out of the attic and put back in the historical front parlor.^ Since Ohio shared in the western origins of modern revivalism in the canç meetings of the Second Great Awakening and in each of its major develop­ ments during the nineteenth century, it is hoped that the present in­ vestigation might make some contribution to the recovery of this facet of American religious history. Until the past decade, professional revivalism rarely has been the subject of objective research. Its proponents lauded its evangelists and their methods and overestimated its impact. Its critics exaggerated its bizarre aspects and underestimated its significance. Three recent studies have marked a new departure in the analysis and evaluation of revivalism--Timothy L.

  • Red, Yellow, Blue and Green: Examining the Relationship Between the Spiritual, Social and Ecological Within the Salvation Army
    Red, Yellow, Blue and Green: Examining the Relationship between the Spiritual, Social and Ecological within The Salvation Army Matthew David Seaman BInfTech, (Qld); MA (TheolStud), (SCD) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between spiritual, social and ecological dimensions within The Salvation Army. The relationship between these three elements is investigated using the methodological framework of practical theology and contains three distinct segments. The first element is a review of ecologically-aware Christian theology and mission literature, and mutually critical correlations with non-Christian ecological literature. The second is historical research on Salvationist precedents for spiritual, social, and ecological engagement and praxis, and an examination of current projects and literature within The Salvation Army. The third section is an analysis of the perceived relationships between these three elements within current Salvation Army discourse and mission. This third segment applies a grounded theory approach to a series of interviews undertaken with individuals who have a significant connection with The Salvation Army within the South Queensland Division of the Australia Eastern Territory. The interview findings reveal three emergent streams of Salvationist understandings of the Church's relationship between the spiritual, social and ecological and involvement in this interconnected discourse, mission and praxis: (1) the spiritual or Economy of God: 'We have a responsibility to God’; (2) the social or Ecumenics: ‘We need to balance what we do’; and (3) the ecological or relationship to creation: ‘There really is a wholeness about the Earth.’ Overall, the findings corroborated a number of other research findings in the literature and have uncovered some particularly Salvationist-related themes.
