The wrong That is to say, Salvationist is always delighted to receive accounts of what’s going on around the territory, but I can’t help feeling there are any number of initiatives which, for the want of a decent trousers report and a good photograph, remain – like my trousers – hid from our eyes. Much the same might be said of THQ, in so far as there are entire departments based at 101 whose ministries remain something of an unknown quantity even to those of us who share the building. It’s not so much a case of ‘left hand, right hand’ syndrome as everyone quietly working away, minding their own business, engaged in promoting the Kingdom and – as General Albert Orsborn put it – the pursuit of ‘souls who were lost to the good’. I wonder if I can encourage the sharing of information that might inspire others. Why not make use of Salvationist by regarding this paper as a means of mobilising mission? ‘Sharing best practice’ is what it’s called in business circles. ‘Saving souls, growing saints and INGING Company Leader Gill serving suffering humanity’ is what Watts, of Luton, asked after my General John Gowans called it.

No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.” Luke 5:36, 37 Over and over, it seems, we are drawn to pouring the sparkling new wine of the gospel into old wineskins. The old wineskins are known. They have worked before. We are comfortable with them. They are trusted friends. A new wineskin is unknown. It may not work. It is almost disloyal to use it. The gospel is predestined to stretch our inflexible structures and burst through our old wineskins. The wine of the gospel is always fermenting. It is a new wine, and - at the same time - a vintage wine. The gospel is both old and new.

  • Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army
    Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Steven E.S. Bussey Abstract While philosophies of innovation shun the past as cumbersome and archaic, history provides a map from which to rediscover ideas and avoid inefficient reinventions. This paper illustrates the value of history by exploring how the founders of The Salvation Army applied design thinking principles to tackle the wicked problem of bringing the gospel to East London in the nineteenth century. Catherine and William Booth’s personalities combined analytical mastery and intuitive originality to craft elegant solutions for this challenge. Utilizing Roger Martin’s Knowledge Funnel, the paper explores the organizational journey of this movement from mystery to heuristic to algorithm. The lessons gleaned from small experiments in East London were vital in refining the strategies to scale the mission worldwide. The Booths designed an organization that was both efficient and agile with constant reinvention built into its structure. Journal of Transformational Innovation, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, Fall 2018, pp. 1-11 © 2018 Regent University School of Business & Leadership Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army The Past: Friend or Foe of Innovation? The word “innovation” is often associated with the breaking free from the shackles of tradition to embrace something new and disruptive. In Leading the Revolution, Gary Hamel suggests that “we have developed the capacity to interrupt history - to escape the linear extrapolation of what was. Our heritage is no longer our destiny.” Placing the old guard against the vanguard and incumbency against imagination, this philosophy of innovation tends to be the dominant perspective.

  • Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals
    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.
