January 26th, 2007 - Mennonite-Salvation Army Partnership
At St. Jamestown 614:
“If we cannot prevail with men for God, then we will, at least, prevail with God for men,” said 19th-century British preacher Charles Spurgeon before a congregation of nearly 25,000 at London’s Crystal Palace. He routinely drew 5,000 weekly to his Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit including Prime Minister Gladstone, the royal family, Florence Nightingale, even U.S. General James Garfield (later President).
It’s little wonder Tara Bishop, associate pastor at Toronto’s St. Jamestown’s 614 project, quotes his work at the foot of all her correspondence.
614 St. Jamestown, like its sister project in nearby Regent Park, was established on the concept of Isaiah 61:4—a message of rebuild, restore, renew—a philosophy Tara Bishop shares with her senior pastor, The Salvation Army’s Kevin Moore. Bishop and Moore have come together in this unique approach to inner-city ministry from very different backgrounds. Bishop represents the Mennonite Brethren (MB) while Moore represents The Salvation Army.

January 25th, 2007 - The General of the Salvation Army has a Website
If he was blogging, that would be something to get excited about.
The General directs Salvation Army operations throughout the world through the administrative departments of International Headquarters, which are headed by International Secretaries.
As well as developing international policy and giving overall direction, the General also ensures the internationalism of The Salvation Army. He travels widely in countries where The Salvation Army is active, and is an inspirational speaker.

January 15th, 2007 - 10 best communicators of 2006 - Examiner.com
Number four on the list:
Commander Israel Gaither: Newly elected national commander of the Salvation Army in the United States, Israel Gaither has absolute conviction and high-level communication skills. Thus, he overcame the odds. The first African-American commander, Gaither is a superb preacher and speaker. He would say it’s the power of God, and if you met him you would not argue. Nor would you argue about his skill as a communicator playing a strong role in his rise to leadership. Strong of voice, well prepared, always focused, and with movement, energetic gestures and expressive language and word pictures, he commands an audience whether it’s a small group of civic leaders or thousands of the members of his army. (Which, by the way, is the largest army in the world with more than 3 million officers, employees and volunteers and a $2.6 billion budget.) Gaither’s biography is titled “Man with a Mission,” so it’s likely you’ll be hearing a lot more from him.
