the salvation army danbury corps & temple … · every day in danbury and surrounding cities...

In 1865, William Booth, an ordained Methodist minister, aided by his wife Catherine, formed an evangelical group dedicated to preaching to people living in appalling poverty in London’s East End. In addition to preaching, Booth became involved in the feeding and sheltering of the hungry and homeless and in the rehabilitation of alcoholics. In 1878, The Salvation Army evolved into a quasi-military organization. Booth became “the General” and officers’ ranks were given to his ministers. The Salvation Amy has functioned successfully within this unique structure for more than a century. As of 2006, its outreach has expanded to include more than 111 countries, and the Gospel is preached by its officers in more than 160 languages. The basic social services developed by William Booth have remained an outward, visible expression of the Army’s strong religious principles. In addition, programs that address contemporary needs have been established. Among these are disaster relief services, child care centers, summer camps, holiday assistance, services for the aging, shelters for women and children, family and career counseling, and substance abuse rehabilitation.
