Skeleton Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amongst the skeleton rabble there is a large percentage of the most consummate loafers and unmitigated flguards London can produce...worthy of the disreputable class of publicans who hate the London school board, education and temperance, and who, seeing the beginning of the end of their immoral traffic, and prepared for the most desperate enterprise. Salvationist men and women, even old people were viciously beaten. At Guildford the corps officer’s wife was kicked unconscious close to a police station and a woman Salvationist fatally injured. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Skeleton_Army   (683 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) The great majority of pioneer Salvationists were proud of their uniforms because of the great crusade for which the uniform stood. Salvationists prove, by personal example, that alcohol is not an essential part of a fulfilled life.

Worship in The Salvation Army   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) Equality is pursued vigorously, in terms of gender, age, cultural background etc. As early as 1875, Salvationists (then members of the "Christian Mission") declared in their constitution that "the rights of females to be evangelists or class leaders" would not be "impeded or destroyed" and that women would not be rendered "ineligible for office". The role of public commitment in Salvationist practice and worship is vital, as testifying to God's grace from the congregation and publicly kneeling to pray at the mercy seat are regarded as genuine aspects of Salvationists' faith. In the Congo, for example, Salvationists quickly did away with the notion of roping off a mercy seat as the superstition that no witch could touch the ropes and survive came to be believed. www.salvationarmy.org.au /beliefs/worship.asp   (1305 words)

War Cry (1912) Salvationists on the Titanic: Two Rescued - 27 April 1912 Mothers, children, husbands and wives called aloud the names of their loved ones lost, and strong men were overcome by their emotions. Abbott, a Salvationist in uniform, was rescued after five hours drifting on a raft, during which time her two sons, aged 16½ and 13½, were drowned before her eyes. Abbott is now seriously ill in hospital, owing to long exposure on the raft she was frozen up to the hips. www.encyclopedia-titanica.org /item/1237   (336 words)

Our Symbols Salvationists advocate the priesthood of all believers, thus the uniform (which relates to a priestly garb) is also worn by non-officers. The Salvationist's uniform currently serves three purposes: internally its use provides a sense of identity and indicates membership; externally it provides a widely recognized symbol of availability and service; internationally it is the most recognized and recognizable cultural icon for Salvationists, part of the glue that holds the denomination together. The negative effects that Salvationists have to guard against are exclusivity within the Army's congregations and a sense of smugness or spiritual superiority, and complacency (mistaking the wearing of particular garments for being in a right relationship with God). avenue.org /sarmy/symbols.htm   (1059 words)

Christianity with its sleeves rolled u During its first three years in the Cape, Salvationists were frequently set upon by hired thugs, known as the Skeleton Army, out to protect their employers' dissolute trade. "Although Salvationists were apolitical, their beginnings in Britain and their Victorian traditions, together with the fact that they tended to follow in the footsteps of the British Army, meant that they were forever identified with the British, despite extensive Dutch membership," he said. "Salvationists were the first organisation to erect a hospitality tent on a field of battle and they fought on both sides during the Boer War, but many corps in the platteland closed during the war, never to reopen." www.btimes.co.za /97/0518/survey/survey4.htm   (940 words)

Details of the Salvation Army, both in Chelmsford and further afield Salvationists (as members of the Army are called) come from many cultural backgrounds and enjoy an international fellowship, knowing no barriers of age, sex or race. The rapid deployment of the first Salvationists was aided by the adoption of a quasi-military structure in 1878 when the title 'The Salvation Army' was brought into use. Salvationists adopt a simple life-style which is reflected in the modest salaries of the officers. members.aol.com /ccsaband/thesa.htm   (712 words)

Uniforms and fund-raising: Material practices in the Salvation Army   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) Salvationists were post-millennial perfectionists who sought to redeem the world and, unlike pre-millennialists—who focused on getting saved for the hereafter—their orientation was here and now. Salvationists explained in their writings—especially their weekly newspaper the War Cry—their goal was to "religionize secular life" and to "secularize religious life," that is, to "sanctify the commonplace." Thus, they were very interested in transforming material practices from profane and secular to holy and sanctified. Salvationists attracted attention from the unchurched and even those hostile to religion by making their evangelical outreach resemble secular entertainment. www.materialreligion.org /journal/army.html   (4343 words)

The Salvation Army: Why don't Salvationists drink, smoke or gamble? Salvationists believe that once we have entered into a relationship with God our lives become his temple, and so we must try to adopt a lifestyle that is beneficial to our well-being. Salvationists want to distance themselves from anything that can be the cause of so much harm. Salvationists do not regard their abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and gambling as a negative lifestyle, but rather we believe that it gives us the freedom to be the people God intended us to be. www1.salvationarmy.org.uk /uki\www_uki.nsf/0/5F34096000CBAEBA80256FDC00586DB9?openDocument   (458 words)

KtB - Losing Their Religion? Some Salvationists felt it distracted from their evangelical task, others argued it was a tacit admission that their soul saving had failed. Not surprisingly, Salvationists were conscious of the need to appear "religious" as opposed to "evangelical" when soliciting from donors who might not share their faith commitments. Salvationists have come to understand just how far they can push the spiritual character of their programs, while government regulators appreciate that Salvationists can never truly separate their faith from their activities. www.killingthebuddha.com /damn_nation/losing_their_religion.htm   (1263 words)

WILLIAM BOOTH'S IN DARKEST ENGLAND AND THE WAY OUT: A REAPPRAISAL Salvationists, who have seen Booth's motives as primarily evangelistic, even in millennial terms, locate the ideological base for the Darkest England Scheme in Booth's Wesleyan and postmillennial theology and his personal encounter with urban culture.3 This interpretation scans Booth's heart, but ignores his intellect, and is at best partially justified. These Salvationists have not gained credit for their role, both because Booth's authoritarian rule required that he be the sole originator of Army programs, and because the crediting of their own ideas to these Salvationists might well have split the Army into separate spiritual and a social organizations. Unquestionably Smith abetted his own debunking by leaving "the work" (Salvationists' phrase for their vocation) nine months after he put the Darkest England scheme into operation in April 1890, and by his silence on the matter of the schemes authorship. wesley.nnu.edu /wesleyan_theology/theojrnl/21-25/25-06.htm   (4523 words)

The Salvation Army 15 The crown reminds Salvationists that Heaven is the reward of all those who love and serve God. The motto 'Blood and Fire' again emphasises important points of Salvation Army belief: 'Blood' because Christians are saved from sin by the death of Jesus, and 'Fire' representing the power of the Holy Spirit which helps Christians live holy lives. Salvationists worldwide use the crest, translating the words on it into their own language. www.request.org.uk /main/churches/army/salvationarmy15.htm   (180 words)

Seventh-Day Adventists and The Salvation Army join for second series of discussions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) At the dialogue, Salvationists and Seventh-Day Adventists presented three sets of companion papers on education, the theology of the Church and the sacraments, and missiology. The Salvationist paper on mission indicated that Wesleyan Methodist practice and theology are the foundation for Army mission while the Seventh-Day Adventist paper developed the thesis that Adventist success in mission was inextricably linked with eschatology, stewardship and church structure. Discussions confirmed that Salvationists and Adventists are Bible-centred in their preaching and theology and Christ-centred in their mission. salvationarmyemich.org /ihq/www_sa.nsf/vw-news/DECC69C7CA80943080257003002CA5BC?opendocument   (959 words)

JAC Online - The Journal of Aggressive Christianity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) William Booth has been described as the first Salvationist but, with the greatest respect, I would argue that the first Salvationist was Jesus — the one of whom it was said, ‘He will save his people from their sins’ (Matthew 1 21 NIV). Salvationists contend that the primary need of human beings is spiritual. There is need for real Salvationists who can stand up and be counted and, in the name of the Saviour, meet need wherever it may be found. www.armybarmy.com /JAC/article5.html   (537 words)

Multi-Cultural Health Care   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) Salvationists pledge to abstain from the use of alcohol or tobacco in any form. As our doctrine sets forth, Salvationists believe "in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgement at the world's end; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked." Salvationists consider the person who "dies in the Lord" to be promoted to glory. www.stjosham.on.ca /education/army.htm   (1185 words)

Salvation Army Call to Prayer - Iraq I am making an earnest plea that the Salvationists of New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga make specific and intentional plans to be in prayer regularly and often about this situation. One suggestion made to me is that we ask every Salvationist to set aside a fixed time for prayer, however short, each day until the situation is resolved. I will be representing Salvationists at the Wellington Cathedral of St. Paul on the evening of Sunday, 9 February 2003 when a Prayer Vigil for Peace will be held. www.salvationarmy.org.nz /SITE_Default/news/2003_01-03/120303.asp   (674 words)

The Salvation Army 13 Salvationists, who can join at any age over fourteen, sign the Articles of War or Soldier's Covenant when they become full members of the Army. This is a document which sets out in detail the beliefs of Salvationists and the promises they intend to make.

A Letter to New Zealand Salvationists Moreover, there are Maori Salvationists (indeed there are not enough Maori Salvationists!) and we know their stories. Total agreement, even among Salvationists, is a naïve hope, but the manner of our discussion will be a witness to our maturity in Christ. Let the Salvationists of this truly lovely land go to God in prayer for the nation and all her peoples. www.salvationarmy.org.nz /SITE_Default/news/2004_04-06/Treaty_of_Waitangi.asp   (1032 words)

eBooks Cube | Major Barbara by Bernard Shaw William Stead, who not only understand the act as well as the Salvationists themselves, but also saw it in its relation to the religious life of the nation, a life which seems to lie not only outside the sympathy of many of our theatre critics, but actually outside their knowledge of society. On the other hand was the Salvationist, repudiating gaiety and courting effort and sacrifice, yet always in the wildest spirits, laughing, joking, singing, rejoicing, drumming, and tambourining: his life flying by in a flash of excitement, and his death arriving as a climax of triumph. Fortunately, the Salvationists are more accessible to the religious character of the drama than the playgoers to the gay energy and artistic fertility of religion. www.ebooks3.com /cgi-bin/ebooks/ebook.cgi?folder=major_barbara&next=3   (1319 words)

Wilfrid Laurier University Press, Interview with Andrew Eason Male and female Salvationists may have occasionally shared a preaching ministry, but their responsibilities off the platform were markedly different. In this particular area, Salvationists were more at home in their culture than set apart from it. Salvationists themselves should appreciate this volume, since it sheds historical light on the recent debates about women's roles in the denomination. info.wlu.ca /~wwwpress/Catalog/Interviews/eason.html   (731 words)

The General gives first 'State of the international Salvation Army' address   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) He praised the resourcefulness of European Salvationists who often seem to have their 'backs to the wall'. In paying tribute to the Salvationists of India, who often are denied opportunities because they are Christians, the General highlighted the mostly Christian state of Mizoram where, he said, the people are 'born with a missionary gene'. Vision Brass, led by UK Salvationist Paul Sharman, provided music in Café 101 while those attending the event enjoyed refreshments and looked round a new exhibition showing The Salvation Army's response to the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. salvationarmyemich.org /ihq/www_sa.nsf/vw-news/F9CD53FDCD3BD4628025700A0057D129?opendocument   (769 words)

eBooks Cube | Major Barbara by Bernard Shaw I do not call a Salvationist really saved until he is ready to lie down cheerfully on the scrap heap, having paid scot and lot and something over, and let his eternal life pass on to renew its youth in the battalions of the future. Salvationists have said to me that Barbara in my play would never have been taken in by so transparent a humbug as Snobby Price; and certainly I do not think Snobby could have taken in any experienced Salvationist on a point on which the Salvationist did not wish to be taken in. But on the point of conversion all Salvationists wish to be taken in; for the more obvious the sinner the more obvious the miracle of his conversion. www.ebooks3.com /cgi-bin/ebooks/ebook.cgi?folder=major_barbara&next=4   (2525 words)

A Haitian Journal The Salvationists in Haiti love to wear their uniforms and the variety is always interesting.

One of the attractions must be the honest and straightforward witness of officers and soldiers. www.salvationarmysouth.org /Haiti/journal51.htm   (408 words)

An army retrenches Salvationists have never believed that any of these functions interfered with one another; a church militant, doing good works in the world, was the vision of the Army's founder William Booth, and it is the vision of today's Salvation Army. Salvationists played a noteworthy role in all Canada's major wars and disasters in the 20th century. Reforms to this structure are among the changes being proposed--gingerly--by the leader of the world's Salvationists, General John Gowans. www.colbycosh.com /print/ar5.htm   (854 words)

India Today and the Call to Salvationists Salvationist communities need to find ways in which they can translate these high-sounding phrases into real life experiences and action, which is the essence of mission.

BBC - Nottingham - Features - A letter from Chennai I have found the Salvationists and friends here in India to be very warm and welcoming, and willing to go the extra mile to assist with the Tsunami relief work. I have witnessed for myself the genuine and heartfelt faith of the Salvationists here who are part of the Christian minority, which is 2% of the population.
