1 gen 1879 anni - Salvation Army established in the U.S

Descrizione:

The Salvation Army, which arrived from Great Britain in 1879, also spread a gospel message among the urban poor, offering assistance ranging from soup kitchens to shelters for former prostitutes. When all else failed, down-and-outers knew they could count on the Salvation Army, whose bell ringers became a familiar sight on city streets. The group borrowed up-to-date marketing techniques and used the latest business slang in urging its Christian soldiers to “hustle.”

The Salvation Army succeeded, in part, because it managed to bridge an emerging divide between Social Gospel reformers and Protestants who were taking a different theological path.
