Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Salvation Army was founded in 1865 when William Booth (1829 - 1912), founded the Christian Mission in London's East End to help feed and house the poor. In 1878 the mission was reorganised upon military lines and, the preachers became known as officers and Booth as general. The group then became known as the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is now established in 80 countries and has 16,000 evangelical centres and operates more than 3,000 social welfare institutions, hospitals, schools and agencies.
