All along we have tried to organize ourselves as best we could without too much formalization (or unnecessary hierarchy, structure, etc.) in order to stay true to who we felt Jesus wanted us to be as a unique community in a unique context.
The Salvation Army in Indonesia is preparing to send more medical staff to the earthquake-affected regions of Java. Personnel from Salvation Army-run hospitals are to be sent to Java where people have been dying needlessly because a lack of medical staff means they are not receiving treatment.Read article: Indonesia Earthquake (Update 2)- More Medical Staff Mobilized.
TORONTO, May 27 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army has launched an immediate response after an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck the island of Java, flattening buildings in a densely populated area south of the city of Yogyakarta. The latest media reports indicate more than 2,800 people

SALVATION ARMY LAUNCHES HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR FANS TRAVELLING TO WORLD CUP
The Salvation Army is launching a campaign ahead of June’s World Cup to make travelling fans aware of the issue of human trafficking. It is estimated that up to 40,000 women could be brought into Germany to work as prostitutes during the World Cup, in order to accommodate the huge influx of demand experts anticipate will be generated by male fans attending the games. Thousands of these women are expected to be illegally trafficked.
Prostitution is legal in designated areas of Germany and as such 400,000 women are already involved in prostitution in the country. However, officials estimate that 3 million fans will buy sex while at the World Cup this year, and to accommodate these numbers 40,000 extra prostitutes are expected to be brought into Germany during this time. Members of the EU Parliament have gone on record to state that thousands of them will be there against their will.
The Salvation Army is keen to make football fans travelling to Germany aware that while prostitution may be legal in many parts of Germany, sex with a trafficked woman is rape.* UK citizens can be prosecuted for illegal sex acts such as sex with a trafficked woman in this country as well as abroad.
Salvation Army volunteers from 6 countries across the world are travelling to Germany to target their countrymen at the World Cup. 40 volunteers from the UK alone will be in Germany, and part of their assignment will be to distribute hard-hitting leaflets which are designed to challenge and inform male fans of the issue of human trafficking. The leaflets, which are headed up with the slogans ‘
You chose her. She definitely didn’t choose you’ and ‘Offensive action? Does it offend you?’, contain facts about trafficking as well as 24-hour helpline numbers for anyone who suspects a woman is trafficked and needs advice.In the run-up to the World Cup, volunteers will also be present at the two England friendly matches at Old Trafford on 30 May and 3 June. The volunteers will be handing out leaflets to adult male fans and attempting to raise awareness and gain support for this key issue while still on home soil.
‘The Salvation Army wants to make people travelling to Germany this summer aware that if they choose to go to a brothel, they may be choosing to pay for sex with a trafficked woman. Sex with a trafficked woman is rape and is an illegal and immoral activity,’ commented Duncan Parker of The Salvation Army.

‘Every year over 2 million people are trafficked across international borders for the purposes of exploitation, whether that be in the form of commercial sex, domestic service or manual labour. Many trafficked victims are stolen from their homes, many are sold by their families, and many are lured away from their homes by the prospect of a well-paid job or a better life in another country. All of these people are being exploited against their will.’
Human trafficking is the third largest illegal industry in the world after the drugs and arms trade, with more than 2 million people trafficked every year. As a global organisation, The Salvation Army is committed to raising awareness of this modern slave trade and to supporting and preventing victims. The Salvation Army runs programmes across the world to support the victims of trafficking and to educate communities in order to prevent people falling into the trap of this illegal trade.
* Rape is having sex with someone without their consent. Someone can only freely consent to sex if they agree by choice and have the freedom and capacity to make that choice.

Major Donna Miller has started a series addressing ways congregations can meet the needs of a multi-cultural society.
In Canadian cities, some of which are among the most multicultural in the world, the Army has respectfully striven to meet the spiritual and language needs of newcomers by establishing culturally specific corps and encouraging multicultural corps.
How can a historically monocultural corps become more welcoming to people of various cultures?

News Release
Friday May 12, 2006 – The Salvation Army welcomes the May 11th announcement by the Honourable Monte Solberg, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration advising that the federal government has adopted new measures effective immediately that will help people who have been victimized by human trafficking.
This action by government represents an important step in the provision for trafficked persons and addresses many concerns. The temporary resident permits (TRP), exemption from TRP fees, and access to health care and counselling are important changes to the immigration policy and the treatment of trafficked victims.
The Salvation Army operates in 111 countries worldwide, many of which are either a country of origin or destination for the trafficked person.
The Salvation Army’s anti trafficking network, along with many other organizations, had called on the federal government for initiatives to support trafficked persons. “This announcement is an excellent advancement towards ensuring that trafficked persons who have arrived in Canada are given the care and assistance they require to put their lives back together”, states Colonel Glen Shepherd, Chief Secretary for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. Further necessities for trafficked persons who will now receive the Temporary Resident Permits are safe shelter, medical and legal services, along with other programs specific to trafficked persons.
The Salvation Army looks forward to continuing to work with government and other agencies to ensure that trafficked persons are not further victimized but receive care and treatment with all the grace and dignity of which they were robbed.
“The seemingly weak and apparently powerless victims of the most horrific oppression and torment, at times achieve a royal splendor of character that is well beyond the imaginations and reach of their oppressors.” – Dr. Cornelius Buller on Human Dignity is Opposed to Human Trafficking
As the largest non-governmental provider of social services in Canada, The Salvation Army continues to provide professional services that are relevant to the diverse needs of vulnerable people and their communities.

MOSCOW, RUSSIA (ANS) -- -- While the Salvation Army has had the registration documentation for its Russia-wide organization restored, the legal position of its Moscow branch remains unresolved, Forum 18 has learnt. “After a long-term process, our central religious organization had its charter accepted about a month ago,” Territorial Commander Colonel Barry Pobjie told Forum 18 on 16 May.
He added that the Moscow branch's situation is “as it was - we're waiting on [the European Court of Human Rights in] Strasbourg.” On 17 May a Moscow city official told Forum 18 that he did not know why the local Salvation Army branch is still without re-registration.
The uncertainty over the status of the Salvation Army's central religious organization arose a little over a year ago. In late April 2005 Colonel Pobjie told Forum 18 that he had recently been informed by the Federal Registration Service that the organization’s entire registration documentation would have to be redone due to an apparently minor discrepancy between terms on its registration certificate and in its charter (see F18News 18 July 2005 -- www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=609.
The Moscow branch of the Salvation Army submitted its re-registration application in line with the 1997 Religion Law in November 1998, but this was rejected in August 1999 on the grounds that parts of the organization’s charter and other documentation did not conform to federal legislation and that the Salvation Army's headquarters are situated outside the Russian Federation. Involved in subsequent legal challenges against this ruling - during which the Salvation Army was accused by one district court of being a “militarized organization” with “barrack-room discipline” - the Moscow branch was unable to file another re-registration application before the 1997 law's re-registration deadline expired at the end of 2000. In February 2002, however, the Constitutional Court ruled that a religious organization could not be liquidated simply for failing to re-register, but only if “properly proven to have ceased its activities” or to be in violation of its constitutional obligations as a legal personality.
On 1 July 2004 the European Court of Human Rights declared admissible a case filed by the Moscow branch against Russia in 2001. Despite being in legal limbo, the Salvation Army has not reported any obstruction to its day-to-day activities in Moscow (see F18News 22 June 2005 www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=591.
Konstantin Blazhenov of Moscow city's Committee for Relations with Religious Organizations told Forum 18 on 17 May that he was unaware of the Moscow branch's current legal status. “They haven't come to us about anything for a long time,” he said.
Confirming that the expiry of the 1997 Religion Law's end-of-2000 deadline was a possible reason why the Moscow branch had not been re-registered, he said that the matter was for the courts to resolve. Blazhenov also pointed out, however, that to his knowledge the Salvation Army is operating unimpeded in the Russian capital. Forum 18 also has no knowledge of any day-to-day obstruction of the Salvation Army's work.
Russia's deputy foreign minister Grigory Karasin, speaking live on a BBC panel discussion on 30 March, described as “interesting logic” the inaccurate claim made by an audience member that the Salvation Army had been deprived of its registration in Moscow under a 1999 NGO law, due to the word “army” in is title.
However, in the city of Rostov-on-Don 1,129 kilometers [700 miles] south of Moscow, Captain Vladimir Tatiosov of the Salvation Army's local branch told Forum 18 on 9 April that he has not encountered any of the registration difficulties experienced in Moscow, “that didn't affect us at all.” The only difficulties they have experienced is the September 2000 bar from Russia of his Canadian colleague Geoff Ryan, which has to this day prevented him from returning to Russia The Rostov-on-Don branch is one of three local religious organizations making up the Salvation Army's central religious organization, all of which were registered with charters identical to that deemed unacceptable in Moscow.
In contrast to some other local religious communities (see forthcoming F18 article), the Salvation Army's property position in Rostov-on-Don also appears to be relatively strong. Captain Tatiosov told Forum 18 that the organization owns its “huge” premises - a four-storey building on a central street provided by a US donor some eight years ago - and that the rent for the land beneath the property is not expensive, at about 40,000 roubles [8,997 Norwegian Kroner, 1,153 Euros, or 1,485 US Dollars] a year.
Not having enough funds to pay its various employees, however, Tatiosov said that the Rostov-on-Don branch has decided to allow its premises to be used each week for worship by 12 local Protestant churches, who are otherwise unable to acquire worship premises in the city, in return for a donation to the Salvation Army's charitable activities.
Captain Tatiosov also told Forum 18 that the local authorities are supportive of the Salvation Army's various social projects for the homeless, the elderly, alcoholics, drug addicts and those suffering from HIV/AIDS. The only Christian pastor invited to a regional forum on the issue of HIV/AIDS in December 2005, he maintained that it was “very rare for the [state] health sector to recognize a social organization in that way,” and suggested that this might be because the Salvation Army's “Bridge” project for AIDS sufferers in Rostov-on-Don is run by fully qualified doctors.
Pastor Viktor Shvedov, of Rostov-on-Don's 600-strong Christ the Saviour Pentecostal Church, told Forum 18 on 10 April that church members are able to provide social assistance to prison inmates, but they were in 2005 unofficially barred from local children's homes. Before the bar, they had been providing clothes, toys and building materials to the homes. Pastor Shvedov likened the situation to a Soviet joke that a citizen has the constitutional right to do an activity, but is not allowed to do it.
Shvedov also told Forum 18 that, since the late 1990s, his church has been unable to conduct a March for Jesus through Rostov-on-Don city centre, again unofficially: “We were told we could do it in principle but that we would need to agree it with the police, fire and ambulance services – one official said that we could try but it would be a waste of time, we would be endlessly directed from one office to another.”
There was no response from either Rostov-on-Don's city or regional Religious Affairs Offices to Forum 18's calls on 17 May.

NEW YORK - The Salvation Army is poised to install a black leader for its U.S. operations Friday, the first time a black church official has led the predominantly white, evangelical denomination in this country.
Commissioner Israel L. Gaither will become the commander of the army in the United States at a ceremony featuring brass band and choral flourishes.
U.S. Salvation Army to install first black leader - Race in America - MSNBC.com.
Graeme Smith wonders if the Army has become ineffective in spiritual warfare. He paraphrases William Booth’s famous, “While Women Weep”* thusly:
While women weep, as they do now, I’ll pat them on the shoulder;
while little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll pay the professionals;
while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll leave it to the chaplains;
while there is a drunkard left,
while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll sit in my nice little hall;
and sing to block them out!
A UK Salvationist in Latvia » Tinkering?
*The Original Booth quote:
“While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!”

The Salvation Army in Northwich is gearing up to support an internationally-famous motorcycle event.
Thundersprint is an annual motorbike race, which takes place this year on Saturday 6th May and Sunday 7th May. Thundersprint sees over 100,000 racing fans from all over the world gather in Northwich to watch current bikers and past masters race around a local car park from morning until evening on classic motorbikes.
This year superbike star Leon Haslam, one of the fastest young riders in the world is taking part in the race for the first time. West Coast racing star - American Classic Champion and four times Daytona winner, Brid Caveney is also travelling all the way from California for the race. Sammy Miller, eleven times British Champion and twice winner of the European (World) Championship is also taking part. Sammy is racing a Gilera 4, which will be raced in the setting fans would have seen it in 50 years ago.
The whole event starts on Saturday at 10am with the Thundersprint National Motorcycle Show taking place in the centre of Northwich. All of the latest bikes will be on display for fans and local people, including displays from BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha along with a fantastic display of the custom bikes from Orange County Choppers, Grinnall and MTB Customs. There will also be an exhibit of the new Skoda cars.
Sunday sees the actual Thundersprint races taking place from 12 noon, with participants arriving at 6.15am for breakfast and technical inspections. Each race sees the bikers do as many laps of the track as they can in the fastest time possible. Each lap lasts on average 18 seconds, therefore every ride lasts less than 2 minutes. The race is a great chance for fans to see classic bikes up close and raced once more. It's also an opportunity for them to meet the famous bikers taking part.
The Salvation Army in Northwich has always been very supportive of the Thundersprint event. This year they have helped with the organisation of the weekend and will be responsible for running the ‘lost children centre' on both Saturday and Sunday. The local leader, Captain Martin Jones will bless the race and will also deliver an outdoor church service. The local Salvation Army band will play the Thundersprint anthem and members of The Salvation Army will also walk around the track, carrying out a 'prayer walk' before the races begin.
Captain Martin Jones commented: 'Thundersprint is an amazing event for the community of Northwich. People come from all over the world, some even travel from as far away as America and South Africa to either take part or to be a spectator. It is a great event to watch and is getting more and more popular each year. It is fantastic that The Salvation Army in Northwich is able to support the day's activities and I'd encourage local people to come along and see what is on offer.'
The Salvation Army has a representative taking part on their behalf. Michael Hunt, aged 54 years from Poynton, Cheshire, has been racing for five years. He has competed in the last four Thundersprint events and this will be his fifth year in the competition. He has won two trophies in previous years. Michael is racing a Suzuki T500 race bike in 1960's era style. He currently competes in three club series - Wirral 100, Preston and District Motorcycle Race Club and Crewe and South Cheshire Race Club. He runs a team 'Just4Fun' and the other member, Ian Jackson, will also be racing at Thundersprint on a similar machine.
