Born: April 10, 1829, Nottingham [Died] August 20, 1912. London. Founder of the Salvation Army in England. After his father, a building contractor, went bankrupt, he began working at a pawnbroker's shop, where he encountered the poverty and decadence of his fellow countrymen and felt a passion to fight against it. In 1844, he underwent a religious conversion and began preaching as a Methodist, and later joined the Methodist Reformed Church. In 1861, he separated from the church and began his own missionary work, including roadside evangelism. In 1865, after successfully evangelizing in tents in London, he realized the need for mass evangelism outside the church, and in 1878 he founded the Salvation Army. At first, he was persecuted by the masses, but later he grew to the point of having contact with the Church of England, and the movement spread to America in 1879 and Australia in 1880. By 1890, the movement had spread throughout Europe, India, South Africa, South America, and Japan. His main work is In Darkest England and the Way Out (1890). booth |
