Abstract
Abstract The Salvation Army began in 1865 when the Rev. William Booth, a London minister, gave up his pulpit and decided to take his message into the streets, where it would reach the poor, the homeless, the hungry, and the destitute. Booth's original aim was to send converts to established churches, but he soon realized the poor did not feel comfortable or welcome in the pews and chapels of many English churches. The Salvation Army program was directed toward social problems, aiming to aid those hurting because of poverty, illness, or temporary disasters. Booth developed his Holiness church in stages, using a military model, with its ministers designated by titles from the army. The ministers began as lieutenants and rose in rank and responsibility. The name of the organization was the East London Christian Mission.
