FROM THE EDITOR
REMINDERS OF SPRING SPRING begins on 1 March according to the meteorological calendar. For some of us it starts on 21 March, either way, all around are reminders of the new season. Lighter, warmer days, sunny daffodils and lambs with crinkly coats basking in the sunshine or gambolling in the fields. There’s no doubt about it, the countryside is particularly attractive in spring and some people, tired of town and city life, decide to move there to find a better environment for their family or peaceful surroundings in retirement. The TV programme Escape To The Country helps people to find an ideal country retreat. Their expectations are fairly predictable: a detached property with period features, views of the surrounding countryside and a few acres of land for livestock and crops. Then there are the extra requirements: the property should be within easy reach of a pub, shop or school – at this point I start to wonder why they are planning to escape to the country, when they are more likely to have these amenities just where they are. Researchers identify properties within an agreed price range and arrange visits. Few find a home that ‘ticks all the boxes’ and often they are persuaded to consider some sort of compromise if they are to realise their dream home in the country. A ‘mystery’ house is thrown in to help prospective buyers to explore ideas they might not have considered and sometimes this works. It’s never a bad thing to be prepared to ‘think outside the box’. Some of the people in the appointments list (see pages 10 to 15) may have to do just that.

Like the participants in Escape To The Country the prospect of moving can raise all sorts of feelings and expectations. There may be a list of requirements, but there may also be a need for compromise – or even a willingness to accept a ‘mystery’ appointment. Flexibility is essential when it comes to fulfilling Christ’s mission. On the subject of mission, Colonel Derek Elvin fills a gap in the recent church or army discussion featured in Salvationist. He points out that before we had either of these names, we were called a mission. Read more about it on page 9. These words of Brindley Boon help to sharpen my focus. Lord, release that latent passion Which in me has dormant lain; Recreate a deep compassion That will care and care again. Needy souls are still my mission, Sinners yet demand my love; This must be my life’s ambition, This alone my heart shall move. (SASB 463) MAJOR JANE KIMBERLEY

PAPERS
THIS WEEK’S QUOTES FROM THE PAPERS MEET THE NINJA ANGELS: THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO TV Scholars had frowned on the addition of ‘angels with ninja skills’ to the latest adaptation of the Bible, branding it a transparent ploy to lure an audience. If so, it worked: the Good Book is America’s newest television phenomenon. A biblical miniseries that began… with the story of Adam and Eve has beaten a host of critically fêted dramas, all manner of sitcoms and, yes, even Downton Abbey… The series… is called The Bible. [Producer Mark] Burnett said that he created the series to combat ‘Bible illiteracy’ among the young… It was also, he added, a work of faith: ‘I’ve loved Jesus all my life… Casting began with prayer.’ The Times
GODLY ROCKERS GET THEIR OWN HOLY HIT PARADE They say the Devil gets all the best tunes, but God, it seems, is getting his own Top 10. After a surge in popularity for faithbased recordings, the UK’s first official weekly Christian music chart [has been] unveiled… The Official Charts Company said that 600 new ‘Christian’ albums were released last year… The compilers hope the exposure will help to boost sales of the Christian and gospel sector.

POOR ARE SCAPEGOATED, SAYS REPORT A report by a coalition of Churches has accused the Government of peddling ‘myths’ and manipulating data to scapegoat the poorest families in Britain. The report, The Lies We Tell Ourselves, challenges ideas about poverty that, it says, are spread by the Government and some sections of the media… The report… says that statistics have been manipulated by politicians and the media to support a comfortable but dangerous story: that the poor deserve the cuts that they are facing… The Prime Minister and other senior ministers have, it says, scapegoated the poorest 120,000 families in Britain… Researchers said that the common factor in the 120,000 families was not criminality or addiction, but the mother’s mentalhealth problems, and that the figures used by the Government were ‘statistically flawed and highly misleading’… In fact, researchers found, ‘in-work poverty is now more common than out-ofwork poverty’… The report is being sent to every MP in the UK and every Member of the Scottish Parliament. Church Times
AND FINALLY… A vicar has begun an ‘iPray’ service for his busy churchgoers. Father Martin Powell sends texts with ‘prayer pointers’ – lines from the Bible. ‘I have promised them no more than three texts a week,’ said Mr Powell, of St Edward King and Confessor Church in New Addington, South London.

NEWS The General installs new leaders for United Kingdom and Ireland UKT SALVATIONISTS of all ages gathered at Regent Hall in central London to witness the installation by General Linda Bond of Commissioners Clive and Marianne Adams as leaders of the United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland. To the music of ‘Celebration’ by Regent Hall Band, the commissioners marched into the hall behind the Army colours and were greeted by enthusiastic applause. The congregational song ‘Jehovah Is Our Strength’ was followed by moments of reflection and the song ‘Lord, I Come To You’ before Colonel Sylvia Hinton (THQ) offered prayer. Nathanael Watchorn (Regent Hall) represented the youth of the territory. He spoke about seeing young people – including his friends – leave The Salvation Army and expressed his vision of a youth facility where young people could be brought together to develop spirituality. He concluded: ‘Big decisions will make a big difference to youth.’ Corps Sergeant-Major Stuart Bate (Preston), Chairman of the Territorial Advisory Council, welcomed the commissioners on behalf of local officers. He referred to the diversity of the UK both geographically and culturally and the different expressions and opportunities for service. ‘There are many passionate, gifted soldiers,’ he said, ‘who are working to fulfil the mission.’ He concluded by saying: ‘We are all in this together,’ and pledged prayerful and practical support to the new leaders. After a multimedia presentation that included some family snapshots, Commissioner Marianne Adams addressed the congregation. She spoke about
the ways that the heart can describe people. ‘God opened his heart through Jesus,’ she said. ‘May his light shine in our hearts.’ The General commended the commissioners as being fine people, gifted leaders and wonderful Salvationists. In the sacred moments of installation that followed, the General told the new leaders: ‘Your appointments are of the Lord. You’re here because the Lord wants you
to be here.’ The congregation remained standing as the territorial leaders knelt in consecration at the mercy seat. The International Staff Songsters started to sing ‘All That I Am’, with the congregation joining in. The General then held the territorial leaders up to the Lord in fervent prayer. Territorial Commander Commissioner Clive Adams addressed the congregation with passion and conviction, speaking
about God’s ‘grace-communication’ through the Bible and how The Salvation Army is part of his ‘grace-transformed community’ today. ‘We don’t need another William and Catherine Booth,’ he said. ‘What we need is the passion to do what they did.’ He urged people to lift the name of Jesus and concluded with the challenge: ‘Live with expectation – believe that God is going to do something!’ – J. K.
I was a stranger and you welcomed me
lenged those gathered to rethink their prejudices, follow Jesus’ call to meet with and see strangers and, above all, see Jesus in the people around us. Assistant to the TPWM Major Ruth Downey led a time of sending and blessing, encouraging everyone to join
hands and recite the Lord’s Prayer. Afterwards time was taken to greet one another and enjoy light French refreshments. The event raised £140 for the Kinshasa Moringa Tree Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo Territory. – K. R.
Time of remembrance
event allows time for families and friends to remember deceased residents since the opening of the Lifehouse 17 years ago. This year was especially poignant, as six residents had died. The service included Bible readings, a message and musical accompaniment. A Tree of Remembrance stands in the chapel bearing the names of the deceased, which were read aloud during the service. – S.

THQ STAFF and officers gathered for the Women’s World Day of Prayer themed I Was A Stranger And You Welcomed Me, which was prepared by Christian women of France.

LETTERS EASTER BAND RECORDINGS SOUGHT
GREAT APP, GREAT JOB! I HAVE downloaded the Salvationist application on Android and have had a great time trying it out on the two free editions. I also get the paper copy. You’ve done a great job on the application. I really like the way it works and that I can access all the copies instead of losing them before they make it home. My one feedback point is that when I leave the application and then return to it (without force close, etc) it reloads from the title screen and I have to navigate back to the edition and page I was reading. I don’t think this should be too hard to fix and it would complete the application. That said, it’s great to see it arrive on my tablet and fantastic to see Android supported from the start. Great job!
AS a visually impaired retired bandmaster approaching the Easter season, I am looking for some band recordings and wonder if any Salvationist readers could help me. The three pieces I’m looking for are ‘Man Of Sorrows’ (Bramwell Coles, Festival Series), ‘The Road To Emmaus’ (Dean Goffin, General Series) and ‘The Hill Of Calvary’ (Bramwell Coles, General Series). If any recordings of these are known to be available, a telephone call to 01394 610294 would help me complement my Easter listening, Thank you. Bram Scott, Woodbridge
Ian Watkins, Eastbourne Digital Publishing Co-ordinator Major Nigel Bovey replies: It is good to hear that the investment via app technology is well received. Readers will be interested to know that ‘The War Cry’ and ‘Kids Alive!’ are being downloaded in great numbers in China, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia. Regarding the way in which the app for all three titles behaves in Android (there is no such problem in Apple), our software developers tell me that this is the way the app has been built. We and they are always looking for possible, affordable improvements to further the mission of our papers. 8

SNAP UP A PLACE AT PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP I’M pleased to say camera clubs are springing up as outreach projects in many corps. Readers of Salvationist may be interested to know that the digital photography days at Sunbury Court, founded by the territory’s former chief photographer Robin Bryant in 2006, have been renamed SA Digital Photography Workshop. With renovations and change of use taking place at Sunbury Court, the venue for this year’s workshop will be High Leigh Christian Conference Centre in Hertfordshire. This will take place from 19 to 22 August. The instructors will be the same as before and will help beginners with the simplest of cameras right up to the experienced enthusiast. The course will cover using the camera and improving the picture on the computer. I hope to see some new faces. Anyone interested please contact Doreen Stokes by telephone on 0121 550 0213.

VIEWPOINT
ARMY, CHURCH OR CHARITY – WHAT ARE WE? Colonel Derek Elvin answers the question by emphasising the real priority – mission THERE has been an interesting discussion in Salvationist recently about the use of the word ‘church’ to describe our Movement. In the discussion I have not noticed the word that William Booth first used for us. We were first called a mission. Booth had spent most of his time as a minister in the business of mission. Asked by various churches to conduct a series of high-profile meetings to which non-churchgoers were invited, Booth preached the gospel and won converts who were unlikely to have attended normal church services. The new converts were referred to the local church for nurture and pastoral care – and Booth moved on to another mission. By the time he arrived in East London in 1865 he had tired of this ‘hit-and-run’ approach. What he sought to establish was ‘a permanent mission to the unconverted’. His converts, unwelcome in the traditional churches, had their own witness to add to his message. They, too, were to become missioners, not mere members but partners in sharing the gospel.
‘‘
MONEY WAS NEEDED. PROPERTIES HAD TO BE ACQUIRED. POTENTIAL LEADERS NEEDED TRAINING AND NURTURING. THE CARE OF OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS BECAME AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT
converts in Darlington and impressed W. T. Stead, did not remain as officers for very long. They burnt out in the white heat of the campaign. Of course, this singleness of purpose could not entirely survive the realities of 19th-century life. Money was needed. Properties had to be acquired. Potential leaders needed training and nurturing. The care of officers and soldiers became an important subject. Soon corps developed a strong sense of community, families felt at home with their friends at the Army, interests in secondary matters like music were developed alongside the main focus on mission. Most significantly it became clear that ‘salvation’ had to include physical as well as spiritual redemption. You couldn’t preach to a man who was hungry or send a girl convert back to her brothel. These simple acts of charity had to become formalised into elaborate structures. All this may have weakened the sense of mission at the grassroots level, but Booth and his successors have steadfastly maintained the primacy of the mission concept. To this day officers remain volunteers not paid a salary but given an allowance to enable them to live. Generals and ‘specials’ of all sorts still conduct spiritual campaigns and hope to see results through converts won. At corps level today there is a danger that, in the climate of scepticism prevalent in Western Europe, we lose this sense of mission as our primary function. It is hard to do mission today. We can be overwhelmed by the complexities of running an organisation and caring for those who belong to it. We can fail to change old methods that no longer are effective and adopt new means of reaching those who need to hear of Christ. Mission can become just an optional extra when we have managed everything else. If we settle down to a role of caring for our own community alone, observing all the rules and looking for public support, then whatever name we give to ourselves, we shall be in danger of betraying our heritage. We are nothing without a sense of mission.
’’
The adoption of the military metaphor in 1878 was, in part, a refusal to become involved in all the necessary accreditations that becoming a church would demand. So, centres were abandoned if they did not fulfil the mission priorities; sacraments were felt not to be necessary to the business of mission; committees only slowed down the progress of the work. Everything was to be concentrated on this single object. So confident were they of this strategy that Railton is alleged to have claimed that the whole country would be saved by Christmas! People and centres were sacrificed for the sake of the great goal. The ‘hallelujah lasses’, who in six months won 5,000

BIBLE STUDY
The wedding that went wrong by Major Pamela Fear STUDY PASSAGE JOHN 2:1–11
W
AS there ever a wedding when nothing went wrong – some little hitch, maybe, that could have spoilt the day? I recall a wedding many years ago when, with the neighbours, I watched a bride and her father depart for the church. Within a few minutes the father returned in a taxi, hurriedly entered the house, and came out clutching a shoebox. The bride had been about to start walking down the aisle when she realised she was still wearing her old slippers and had forgotten her new wedding shoes! Almost all the weddings I can remember had something go wrong. You may recall a similar occasion, even if it was something minor that few people were aware of at the time. Here, in John 2:1–11, we have the account of a wedding that went wrong. It would seem very likely that it was the wedding of a relative of Mary because Jesus and his disciples were guests. Probably few of the wedding guests were aware of the shortage of wine. Certainly the master of the banquet appears to have been unaware there was a problem. Mary was close enough to have been consulted when things went wrong. What a dilemma! The drink had run out and the festivities were nowhere near over. In asking why this happened, we must remember that in the Middle East at that time it was not the bride’s parents who provided the reception but the groom himself. Not only did the groom provide for the wedding, but he had to build a home as well. But why did the wine run out? Perhaps, as a young man, the groom 16
Salvationist 16 March 2013
had no experience of catering and had underestimated the quantities needed. Perhaps he was ‘feeling the pinch’ and tried to cut corners. Perhaps there were gatecrashers – a common thing in the East – and more people had turned up than he had anticipated. Perhaps the guests had just been too greedy and imbibed too freely. Whatever the reason, the wedding was in danger of being the mother of all jokes: the wedding where there was not enough drink to go round – the wedding that went wrong.
‘‘
IT BECAME THE STORY THAT IS TALKED ABOUT AND REMEMBERED TWO THOUSAND YEARS AFTERWARDS
’’
It was Mary who asked Jesus to help, and the answer he gave must have seemed very strange: ‘Fill the jars with water… Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet’ (vv7 and 8). We could long discuss just when the water became wine. Was it while being poured into the jars? Or was it when it was being poured out? My own belief is that it became wine when it was accepted. As a single officer I came to know the Congregationalist minister in the town where I was stationed. He and his wife had three children. When their third child
was expected they prayed very hard that the Lord would grant them a daughter, as they already had two sons. ‘And we had Dorothy,’ he said. He didn’t need to say more. Dorothy had Down’s syndrome. ‘But the Lord answered our prayer.’ It must have seemed a very strange answer. Interestingly, the name they chose for her means ‘gift of God’. When the water at the wedding was accepted, it became the finest wine the master of the banquet had known. Dorothy was accepted, and brought her parents tremendous love and affection. The story of a village wedding that ran out of refreshment would have been talked about for a few weeks and then forgotten. Instead, it became the story that is talked about and remembered two thousand years afterwards. So what does this wedding have to teach us? It teaches us about prayer. We make our requests to God, and often seem to receive a very strange answer – something quite different from what we might have expected. In accepting that answer, we also find we have something far better than we could have ever asked for ourselves. Perhaps, after all, this was the wedding that went right.

BEREAVEMENT – GOOD GRIEF! Major Peter Mylechreest explains how a compassionate visitor can transform suffering THE doctor had explained it and his family had tried to prepare him, but when she died it still came as a big shock to him. He had not been in denial about the fact she was so poorly, nor was he concerned for her eternal destination, but when she was promoted to Glory he felt numbed and confused. People were very kind and made vague offers of assistance, but he did not know what he wanted other than his wife back! Despite the wonderful funeral service, he felt empty and lost. At times he almost forgot that she had gone, but mostly he struggled to come to terms with his uncontrollable feelings. If only he could talk to someone. Was what he was going through normal? He didn’t want to bother his doctor, so who was there? Lots of folk in the corps could have popped in, but they were concerned that they were not trained in grief counselling. The corps officer would willingly have spent time listening, but he already had an overcrowded schedule. The grieving man’s family lived some distance away and visiting would involve changes in routine and added expense. So the widower had to wrestle on through the various stages of grief on his own. He had little knowledge of what to expect or how to deal with the times when everything seemed meaningless and life didn’t make sense. Just getting through a single day was as much as he could cope with. He struggled, wondering how he would go on living and, worse, why he should even try if she was not with him. To complicate things he found himself becoming angry, unreasonably blaming others – friends, family, doctors and even his loved one for leaving him. Painfully he tortured himself thinking, ‘If only I had...’, and asked himself, and God, unpalatable and unanswerable questions, beginning ‘What if...?’ So what might have happened if corps folk and/or the officer and/or his family had made this lonely man a priority? O Just having human company would have been a huge help to him O Being allowed to speak freely about his beloved would have been a great relief O Being affirmed that he still had worth even though he was now on his own, would have been reassuring O Sensing he was part of a caring community would have reignited a sense of belonging and purpose O Encouragement to join in with others, when he felt he could, would have helped him to see beyond his present situation and given hope for the future. But, sadly, for a multitude of reasons, no one called to sit with him. So he continued working through waves of
emptiness and private tears and overwhelming despair, while querying the quality of his corps fellowship. It took a considerable time for him to fully realise that his wife was never coming back. Oh, he knew it in his head, but inwardly coming to terms with the reality was difficult. Making sense of the fact was almost too hard to believe, let alone accept. Reluctantly he had to acknowledge that some things had changed for ever. He needed to make adjustments, reorganise routines and try to live in the present when the past occupied his mind so much, slowly learning that to enjoy things was not a betrayal of his loved one. To have had someone sit alongside him through his journey to live again would have been so helpful. Through his people, God can give courage and hope for the future. It may have assisted in an earlier reinvestment in people, making interpersonal connections more likely and friendships more meaningful. Eventually it would have enabled him to reach
‘‘
HE NEEDED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, REORGANISE ROUTINES AND TRY TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT WHEN THE PAST OCCUPIED HIS MIND SO MUCH
’’
out to other people, become involved in their lives and share the comfort and grace that he himself had received – his suffering transformed by grace into usefulness. The way grief affects each individual is unique, but all can benefit from a compassionate visitor. That person would not necessarily need academic qualifications or specialised training, just a caring heart, a listening ear and the ability not to talk continually about one’s self or one’s own troubles. No platitudes needed – just Christian love.

TRIBUTES BRIGADIER ROBERT SLOAN ROBERT grew up on the family farm in Northern Ireland. He met The Salvation Army during a selfdenial appeal when Lieutenant John Mowat knocked on the farmhouse door. A year later, Robert joined the 1938 Dauntless Evangelists Session at the training college. His first appointment was to Lerwick. His entire service was spent in Scotland. With his wife Ruby, he ministered in Partick, Whiteinch, Leith, Port Glasgow, Rutherglen, Hamilton and Edinburgh Gorgie. After retirement in 1984 they returned to Gorgie as soldiers. Mrs Brigadier Sloan was promoted to Glory in 2007. An avid reader, the brigadier would only read books that would help satisfy his insatiable appetite for learning. He was a prolific letter-writer, which extended to some 40 young people who answered the call to officership during his ministry. Through these letters he offered encouragement and challenge. Most kept in touch through the years right up to his promotion to Glory at the age of 94. He believed in pub-booming as a means of contacting people, and managed to maintain this ministry well into his eighties. Many in the area where he witnessed remember him with respect and affection. The brigadier was a family man, proud of his children and grandchildren, and
always showed great interest in what they were doing. Whatever he did was with the best interest of people at heart. He was a gracious and humble man who lived life to the full and served God faithfully. Latterly he upheld his strong Christian principles and continued witnessing in a care home, telling staff and visitors of God’s love. – L. C.
MRS JEAN BARSON, STAPLEFORD JEAN was born to Salvationist parents in Sandiacre in 1933 and regularly attended the Army with her family. During her working life she was employed as housekeeper for a doctor and, finally, as a lollipop lady. Jean married Bob in 1954, and was the mother of Julie and Gary. She lived with multiple sclerosis for more than 50 years but coped well with her illness and was always cheerful. Over the years her health deteriorated until, finally, she became housebound. A monthly meeting was held in her home, allowing her to enjoy Bible study and fellowship. Jean was a devout Christian and is sadly missed by all who were privileged to know her. – E. S.
GEORGE BURNS, WHITEHAVEN GEORGE was one of six children. After leaving school he worked as a grocer and during National Service with the Pay Corps he attended the corps at Preston. When he returned home, and until the age of 72, he was a window cleaner with his brother and drove taxis. For 40 years he was also a retained fireman, reaching sub-officer rank. ‘Uncle George’ was best known for his dedicated service to the Army. He was a bandsman for 60 years and held a local officer commission until the age of 86. His dedication took him to other churches as a preacher. George was also the Salvationist representative on numerous committees. – B. H.
VICTOR PENHALL, BRISTOL BEDMINSTER VICTOR, who was promoted to Glory two months after his wife Pearl, first came to
Bedminster in the 1950s and served as a bandsman. The couple left the Army for a time and attended their village church near Bristol. After returning to the corps, Victor became the welcome sergeant and was also a hospital visitor for a number of years. He is especially missed in the corps for his shouts of ‘Hallelujah!’ during the meetings. – R. C.
WILLIAM MINGAY, LOWESTOFT SOUTH A HUMBLE and willing soul who loved the Lord, William was born at Lowestoft in 1934 and taken to the Army as a child. A tireless worker and keen collector respected by everyone, he faithfully took The War Cry into pubs in Lowestoft and Southwold until poor health forced his retirement. William became a familiar and friendly face, and many felt comfortable sharing with him their need for prayer. Although unable to read or write, he always carried pen and paper for them to write their prayer requests, which he faithfully took back to the corps. With a smile and a kind word, William worked willingly, conscientiously and cheerfully for the Lord and the corps. – I. H./C. C.
RETIRED BANDMASTER RAY CLARK, CHIPPENHAM A LIFELONG, committed Salvationist, Ray was born in 1932. He began 43 years’ service as bandmaster in 1961. He also led the corps scouts for a number of years and assisted at Army scout camps. He met his wife Eva at Chatham Torchbearers during National Service. Ray loved music and encouraged and supported people of all ages to serve God through it. He was a member of the National Association of Brass Band Conductors for more than 40 years and secretary from 1985 to 2003. Parkinson’s disease caused retirement from further activities. An accountant by profession, in retirement Ray was auditor for the Southern Division. His influence and presence are greatly missed – not least by his wife, two sons and grandchildren. – P. C.

Praying around the world… India Central Major Frederick Tucker (later Commissioner Booth-Tucker) commenced Army operations in India – the Army’s oldest mission field – in September 1882 after reading a copy of The War Cry and becoming a Salvationist. The India National Secretariat serves the country’s six territories. With his friend Mahanada, Staff-Captain Abdul Aziz, a person of Muslim background, started Army work in India Central Territory at Vijayawada in 1895. Captain Abdul Aziz was spiritually renewed while attending the revival meeting of Captain Henry Bullard in 1884 at Bangalore and dedicated his life as a Salvation Army officer. The territory, led by Commissioners M. Y. Emmanuel and T. Regina Chandra Bai, comprises 540 officers, 520 employees, 281 corps, 204 outposts, 167 societies, 77,015 soldiers, 8,936 adherent members and 9,411 junior soldiers. Every Sunday two officers in Chennai visit children in prison to distribute Bibles, offer counselling and lead spiritual and recreational programmes. Pray that this ministry – which is greatly appreciated by the 85 boys and 182 girls in prison – will continue.
