closely the orthodox beliefs of the Protestant Church. Every person becoming a
member (soldier) of the Army signs a covenant which amongst other things
acknowledges their acceptance of these truths which are the foundation for
Salvation Army beliefs and practices internationally.

are a great way to recycle clothing, furniture, household goods, toys and
books, and help struggling households. The goods sold make a huge different to
