Written by Major Jane KimberleyEditor Salvationist EIGHT extraordinary real-life stories

of 20th-century Salvationists have been brought together to form a

moving, compelling whole in Covenant, the Boundless Congress musical.

A cast of 53 people from the USA Western Territory debuted the musical on Tuesday June 30 in indigo at The O2, one of the many venues being used across The O2 complex. This was the fi rst of seven performances slated for the congress week.

The show is a vignette of eight real-

FLOWING through London, the River Thames is a longstanding maritime route, boundary and

economic resource. As merchant ships sailed throughout the world, they brought back its riches to store in the City – the fi nancial heart of the British Empire.

Yet the area is fl anked by London’s East End, long synonymous with poverty, overcrowding, disease and criminality.

As the river brought treasure from the empire, it also brought an expanding population to the East End.

life stories about Salvationists across the world. Snippets of The Salvation Army’s work throughout the 20th century are threaded together with scenes of Founder William Booth sharing his vision for the Army in his fi nal days.

‘It’s about what is going on now but also for the past 150 years – how people stepped up to do what needs to be done,’ said Kevin Larsson, musical composer and director, who wrote Covenant with playwright Karl Larsson and lyricist Commissioner Keith Banks.

‘When we read through William Booth’s relatively obscure funeral covenant, the idea of him working on it was born,’ said Karl Larsson.

A total of 16 tracks comprise a range of musical styles to refl ect the journey around the world. ‘The inspiration for the music came out of the stories and the country in which the stories were set,’ said Kevin Larsson. ‘I tried to get the styles from all over the world as much as I was able.’ He was infl uenced by music

ROAD TO BOUNDLESSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1...

Waves of immigrants – French Protestant Huguenots, Irish, Ashkenazi Jews and Bangladeshi – poured in and general conditions worsened.

According to the 1881 census, more than one million people lived in London’s East End, where the life expectancy of a labourer was less than 19 years. Two out of every 10 children died, and diseases like tuberculosis, rickets and scarlet fever were common.

‘In that context began The Christian Mission,’ said Lieut-Colonel Alex Morrice, who served as an offi cer from Scotland to Japan and retired as assistant chief secretary of the United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland in 2001. A self-described historian, Morrice leads Salvation Army-focused tours through the East End. ‘If you don’t know our roots – where we’ve come from – you don’t know where we’re going. We get information and inspiration from our history, and while we can’t be imprisoned by our past, it gives us signposts for the future.’

Today, as in the 1800s, vendors peddle everything from produce to household supplies in market stalls down Whitechapel Road. It’s alongside these stalls that the East London Revival Association fi rst held an open-air outside the Blind Beggar pub.

‘The slums were indescribable with dreadful squalor,’ Morrice said. ‘Large families lived in tiny apartments with no water or heat. They were the neglected poor, the outcasts of society.’

It was a life so bad, the pub advertised: ‘Get drunk for a half penny; blind drunk for a penny.’

When the leader of that revival meeting asked

FROM THE GENERAL

if anyone wanted a word, William Booth stepped forward. The following Sunday, 2 July 1865, he preached his fi rst sermon under the association’s tent in Vallance Gardens.

History holds that Booth returned home that night and said to his wife, ‘Kate, I have found my destiny.’ He became its leader, and so began what was renamed The Salvation Army in 1878.

‘The Salvation Army – what a strange name!’ Booth wrote after The Christian Mission’s renaming. ‘What does it mean? Just what it says – a number of people joined together after the fashion of an army; and an army for the purpose of carrying salvation through the land…’

The Blind Beggar still operates today. Two nearby statues commemorate Booth’s work in the area, and a street mural features infl uential people – from Queen Elizabeth, to George Bernard Shaw and Booth. Two corps, the longstanding Cambridge Heath and the more recently opened Stepney, work in this community, along with the 150-bed Booth House for homeless men.

Today, as in the 1800s, vendors peddle everything from produce to household supplies in market stalls down Whitechapel Road. It’s alongside these stalls that the East London Revival Association fi rst held an open-air outside the Blind Beggar pub.

‘COVENANT’ DEBUTS AT THE O2CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1...

by Russian composer Shostakovich for ‘In My Enemy’s Camp’ and researched Soukous style music, an African version of the Cuban rumba and the Paraguayan polka among others.

The power of this production is in the real-life stories of Salvationists. In

between each scene, videos of the real-life character – or someone who knew the character – briefl y share a personal story. What seems to be a transitional element of the musical is key in providing context for the story if the audience misses any words or story points in the scene.

‘To think these stories were actually true!’ said co-director Barbara Allen, who staged and choreographed the musical. ‘The musical is a wonderful vehicle to tell the stories and for the cast to get to know them so well.’

In this context of extraordinary real-life stories, giant blank polygons serve as a canvas for projected backgrounds – from illustrative modern layers of moving images to pictures that evoke dimensions of realism – created by the Multimedia Ministries Department in the USA Western Territory.

The costumes support each scene, complementing the muted oppression in prison yards and the Nazi regime or the vibrancy of tropical forests and South

American streets. But some scenes are so raw that the simplicity of it hits the audience in the gut even without the extravagance.

The cast and a support staff of eight are soldiers from the southern California region, ranging in age from eight to 76. The performances of several strong soloists takes one out of an evaluative mode to simply enjoy the show as they unveil the heart of the characters.

It is a visual treat for the eyes and for the ears.

The rehearsal process started in January and, though exhausting, cast members say it was an enriched and joyous experience, prompting personal refl ection.

‘I really think this musical will minister to the global Salvation Army to give them a sense of commitment and holy pride,’ said Major Tim Foley, who played Old Gunter. ‘I’m enjoying playing a small part in a production that is bringing that spirit of encouragement.’

While entire duplications of a major production like this would be rare, the Larssons are hopeful that the vignette format allows for the musical to be broken into manageable chunks that could be performed individually elsewhere, hopefully extending the musical’s life beyond Boundless. All orchestrations, books and background images will be made available for purchase.

To end the show, audience members are invited to stand and read William Booth’s covenant together – a covenant penned in his fi nal days. It’s a challenge. It is an invitation to move the Army – the love for God and people – forward from the visions of the early days into the future.

‘I really think this musical will minister to the global Salvation Army to give them a sense of commitment and holy pride.’

This is the birthplace of The Salvation Army, and in 2015 – the organisation’s 150th year – Salvationists gather from 1-5 July at The O2 in south-east London for Boundless: The Whole World Redeeming. The 20,000-capacity arena is host to representatives from each of the Army’s 126 countries of work.

‘It’s going to be an event that will inspire, and for the fi rst time we truly have the capacity to reach the entire Salvation Army world,’ said Lieut-Colonel Eddie Hobgood, congress coordinator, a USA Southern Territory offi cer who has spent most of his service in event-planning roles.

Only the seventh international congress – the last was in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2000 – this anniversary congress is named after Booth’s timeless song, ‘O Boundless Salvation’, which has been called the anthem of this army.

‘When William wandered into the East End and saw the poverty and neglect of the church he was moved to do something,’ Hobgood said. ‘We believe very strongly the call to save the world is as strong today and The Salvation Army needs to sometimes be reminded of what we’re all about. Boundless is a call to continue into the next 150 years.’

Seven main sessions will feature various aspects of General André Cox’s dream for the Army, leading on Sunday 5 July to a one-mile march down The Mall from Horse Guards Parade to Green Park, beyond Buckingham Palace.

‘The Salvation Army has a remarkable testimony of trust in God. When the fi rst Salvationists gathered in the East End, they had nothing – no place to call their own, no building, no money, and very few people – but somehow God took the commitment of those few people and multiplied it,’ said Commissioner William Cochrane, International Secretary to the Chief of the Staff and Chairman of the congress planning and advisory council. ‘It will be an inspiring moment when we all gather in what is possibly the biggest tent in the world – The O2 – just a short distance away from where they held those fi rst meetings.’

6 ISSUE ONE: WEDNESDAY 01 JULY 2015

I T was a case of ‘back to the future’ at Boundless - The Whole World Remembering, the congress historical

convention, with the surprise unveiling of an interactive William Booth hologram – a brainchild of the New York-based Salvation Factory.

The evening formed The Salvation Army Historical and Philatelic Association’s 2015 convention. The association is the only international group devoted to Salvation Army history and memorabilia. And while there are many Salvationists among its 1,500 members worldwide, it is run totally independently of The Salvation Army.

The association’s major aim is to educate people in how to recognise and care for items of historical interest. It has a publishing arm, with nine books on sale at the Boundless Congress and an invitation for writers to contribute more titles. The Association also manages SAWiki, the largest visitor-edited site about The Salvation Army. (Email webmaster@sawiki.net for details.)

The association’s current chair is Dr Glenn Horridge, who holds a PhD in Salvation Army history from the University of London and freely admits to being ‘Army barmy’. As a history teacher, Dr Horridge includes The Salvation Army in his syllabus, bringing in artefacts, sharing stories and teaching about the Army’s impact on society. ‘We are wanting to promote the Army’s message to people around the world,’ he said, putting out a call for more members.

The evening’s speakers were Dr Roger Green OF (vice president of the association), Envoy Steve Bussey (Co-Director, Salvation Factory, www.salvationfactory.org), and Jack Kerr (Director, USA Eastern Territory Heritage Museum).

Dr Green spoke about ‘The Founders and Foundation’. The Booths developed an intentional ministry, he said, founded on the authority of the Scriptures – including those that attest to the equality of women. They had a clarity of purpose: to repent and believe the gospel, and serve the Kingdom of God by caring for one’s neighbour, especially the poor. Most of all, William and Catherine Booth had ‘a great loyalty to the God who redeemed them and who called them to bring an army of salvation into a world in need of redemption’.

A JOYOUS AND JAZZY OVERTURECONTINUED FROM PAGE 1...

Commissioner James Knaggs welcomed General André Cox and Commissioner Silvia Cox (World President of Women’s Ministries), and Chief of the Staff Commissioner William Roberts and Commissioner Nancy Roberts (World Secretary for Women’s Ministries), together with retired international leaders and the guest musicians.

The timbrels and International Staff Band (ISB) made a lively start with ‘Hungarian Polka’, and a video presentation of fl ags representing the 126 countries in which the Army is at work was underpinned by ‘O Boundless Salvation … the whole world redeeming’ and the words of John 3:16.

Listeners were momentarily transported to Latin

America through the contributions of South America East Territorial Youth Band while being able to refl ect on the Founder’s song through historical pictures shown on multimedia.

‘Make a joyful noise’ suggested Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters as, with enthusiasm, they presented ‘A Joyful Note’, followed by ‘Most Holy One’ and ‘Before the Throne of Grace’.

The musicians’ contributions were interspersed by the video presentation ‘Belief in Action’, depicting the Army’s worldwide caring ministry that brings hope and transformation.

Angola National Band (ANB), with their joyous and jazzy contributions, received a standing ovation from delighted congressgoers. They brought Africa to London and demonstrated the diversity of the international Army. With equal sincerity and fervour Pasadena Tabernacle Youth Chorus sang ‘Psalm 23’ and ‘O Boundless’, with a soloist emphasising the Founder’s words alongside the waving of the Army fl ag and the Stars and Stripes.

Video footage showed the ISB at Buckingham Palace playing ‘Lift Up The Banner’ at the Army’s 50th anniversary and also at ISB120. These, together with other clips, highlighted the ministry of brass bands and suitably led into the ISB’s playing of ‘My King and King’ with the reminder of the hymn ‘Let All the World in Every Corner Sing’. Commissioner Knaggs acknowledged the role of bands to the Army throughout its history and introduced Stephen Ponsford’s ‘Music of Legacy’, a composition with echoes of ‘Lord Through the Years’. The congregation warmly expressed appreciation to the ISB before Derick Kane played the euphonium solo ‘When he Cometh’.

In his Bible thoughts Commissioner Knaggs referred to the words of the Psalmist, ‘Sing to the Lord a new song’, saying that witnessing comes naturally when our hearts appreciate what he has done. The new song is not limited to music, but is as the life we live. The ISB and ANB united to present ‘Procession to Covenant’.

The fi nal item of a sparkling evening, ‘A Worldwide Army’, was brought by all the musicians and declared One Army, One Mission, One Message and featured the great song of praise ‘Eternal God’, with the congregation joining the fi nal verse and declaring ‘Christ has overcome the world’.

In the benediction the General gave thanks to God for his boundless love.

Angola National Band, with their joyous and jazzy contributions, received a standing ovation

Envoy Steve Bussey runs what he describes as ‘an imaginarium’. Inspired by William Booth’s rallying cry that ‘we must have new inventions of every kind’, Salvation Factory forges creative ideas into reality, then distributes them for free.

Steve asked Salvation Army historians and fans of history to tell the best stories from the past to inspire the next generation of blood-and-fi re Salvationists. He emphasised the importance of rediscovering what The Salvation Army is and displaying it in the most creative, attention-grabbing ways – taking advantage of the technology and tools available.

Steve then unveiled an interactive hologram of General William Booth and proceeded to ‘interview’ him. The General’s hologram will be on display in the Boundless Experience for the rest of the week and is sure to be hugely popular.

Jack Kerr has been a Salvationist for only nine years, after he heard the gospel of Jesus Christ preached in a Salvation Army chapel at Worthington Woods in Columbus, Ohio. Having run from the Lord for more than 20 years, Jack recommitted himself to God. His ‘fi rst-generation’ passion for the Army’s mission now underlies his work as director of the USA Eastern Territory’s Heritage Museum.

‘I have fallen in love with Salvation Army history,’ he said, describing the ‘inner sanctum’ artefacts of the USA Eastern Territory’s Heritage Museum, some of which are on display at Boundless 2015.

Sadly, Salvation Army museums are often underutilised, Jack said. ‘We teach people the history of The Salvation Army, but it’s just words. But when a Salvationist can get up close and touch that history, it’s a wonderful, wonderful thing!’

THE Royal Mint in the United Kingdom has issued a special £5 coin honouring The Salvation Army’s 150th

anniversary. ‘This is a wonderful opportunity to

celebrate the 150th anniversary and evolution of this much-loved organisation – still bringing hope to people today,’ said Shane Bissett, Royal Mint director of commemorative coin and medals.

The coin was designed to include the familiar Salvation Army shield and a laurel wreath, both reminiscent of feelings of ‘the cheering warmth and familiarity of The Salvation Army brass band playing carols, a distinctive feature of any British high street in the run-up to Christmas,’ according to the Royal Mint.

The reverse, as with all British coinage, features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the year. The Salvation Army coin is one of the last to feature the fourth portrait of the Queen; the fi fth portrait since her ascension to the throne in 1952 came into use on new coinsin circulation as of March 2015.

EVENTS FOR ALLNEON AND LATE NIGHT ALIVE AMONG PROGRAMMES DESIGNED TO APPEAL ACROSS THE AGE RANGE

Written by Kersten RiederEditorial Assistant for Salvationist The coin is being released in two forms,

a cupro-nickel version that is a similar metal content to all silver-colored UK coins (selling for £13) and a limited-edition sterling silver version (£80), of which only 1,500 are being minted.

The fi rst limited edition sterling silver coin was minted by Lieut-Colonel Eddie Hobgood, International Congress Coordinator, and the second by Major John Murray, International Headquarters Communications and Literary Secretary. While at the Mint, the pair also spoke to the team involved in the coin production, explaining the history of The Salvation Army and its current ministry in 126 countries.

The Royal Mint has an unbroken history of minting British coinage for more than 1,000 years and has a tradition of making medals and commemorative coins, including all 4,700 victory medals for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

IN the early stages of planning for Boundless – The Whole World Redeeming, General André Cox challenged the congress team to ensure that

kids would be a visible part of the celebration. As a result, Boundless Kids is about enabling children and families to engage with the congress experience together.

Children will receive Boundless Kids bags with goodies and an activity booklet that bring topics from the main sessions alive in age-appropriate ways. Whether you are here for all fi ve days or just a few, your child can collect a bag from the information point.

‘Our energetic team will get children involved in storytelling, singing, drama and dancing,’ said Rob Moye, Boundless Kids team member and organiser from the United Kingdom Territory with the Republic of Ireland headquarters. ‘We will also be asking some big Boundless questions,’ he adds.

As well as being around the outside spaces of the O2, a dedicated area in the heart of the Boundless Experience will allow children and families to engage with, unpack and explore the week’s themes together.

‘If you fi nd that the main sessions are too much for your child, come along to our marquee,’ Moye said. ‘Inside you will be able to experience and share diff erent ways of responding to each day’s theme, whether you prefer to wander through Godly Play, chill through quiet activities, think through discussion or be creative and make something, then this area is for you.’ However, parents should be aware that children must be supervised at all times, as the aim is to encourage family and make everyone feel welcome in this interactive family space, to get to know the team and build worldwide friendships.

For delegates aged 11-16, ALOVE, the UK Youth Department, is holding NEON, a youth event, between 2 and 4.30pm each day between 2 and 4 July, where young people will have the options of photography, fi lm, dance, refl ection, a prayer labyrinth, sharing stories, games, competitions, art and crafts to join in. Because the theme is titled NEON, delegates are encouraged to wear or bring something fl uorescent or glow-in-the-dark.

The sessions will be hosted by the winners of the UK Young Presenters Competition – Lydia Daniels (Sunderland Monkwearmouth), Becky Elliot (Gloucester), Noah Hilditch (Hendon) and Anya Williams (Bedford Congress Hall) – with worship led by Second Mile worship band.

Speakers will include Captain Marion Platt (USA Southern) on an Army that truly refl ects the mind of Jesus; Major Janet Robson (International Headquarters) sharing about a multicultural Army; and Major Danielle Strickland (Canada and Bermuda) who will speak about a serving Army. Other participants include Vasa Gospel Choir from Sweden and ballet dancer Shaw Coleman from Germany.

‘Kids won’t want to miss out on spending time with young people their own age, worshipping God and celebrating the Army’s 150th birthday together,’ said Kathryn Thorp, ALOVE events manager.

Last, but not least, Late Night Alive is a free late-night chat show in a relaxed and informal setting and is open to anyone of any age wanting an opportunity to come together, hang out and enjoy the congress vibe. Alongside the house band Second Mile, other

performance groups will be making an appearance to make this a true ‘round-the-world’ event.

Two groups will perform each night, giving those who missed out on concert tickets an opportunity to hear and see more of their favourite groups, and there will be a short interview with the leader. A third group will perform a short piece and one of the other guests will be selected to perform with them. The line-up includes the Hawai’i Hula Hālau, Korean Fan Dancers and the Amsterdam Staff Songsters.

‘There are many fun things planned, but one of them will be the speaker from the main arena coming

to Late Night Alive with the challenge of distilling their sermon down to 150 seconds – no matter how long they preached for in the arena,’ said Janet Robson, who is coordinating the event. ‘This will allow for the main theme to come into Late Night Alive every night.’

The nightclub-style venue of Building Six will also give the informal setting a chance for delegates to get to know each other. Janet enthuses: ‘It will be relaxed and a lot of fun. I genuinely want to encourage people to come along, connect with friends and enjoy the spirit of the congress.’

DELEGATES to Boundless 2015 are encouraged to join together and use the power of social media to tell the world that

The Salvation Army celebrates its 150th birthday on 2 July 2015.

As well as continuing to use the hashtags #Boundless2015 and #WeAre150, participants can use their Twitter, Facebook or Tumblr accounts – or all three – to share a simple message through a Thunderclap. Once they have signed up, a message – ‘On this day in 1865 William & Catherine Booth founded The Salvation Army. Meeting human needs for 150 years #WeAre150 http://sar.my/weare150’ – will be sent simultaneously from supporters’ own accounts at 1pm British Summer Time on Founders’ Day (2 July), reaching friends and followers.

The link will take people to the International Headquarters (IHQ) website where they can fi nd out more about the history and current ministry of The Salvation Army.

‘The beauty of a Thunderclap is its simplicity – all you need is a social media account,’ says IHQ Web Manager David Giles. ‘If you don’t already have one it’s free and easy to sign up. The message we’re encouraging people to share should open up plenty of opportunities for online conversation. Because all these messages occur at exactly the same time it is sure to get The Salvation Army noticed.’

At the time of writing, more than 1,000 supporters have signed up to take part (double the original target of 500), with a potential reach of more than 800,000 people, but David urges: ‘Taking into account the number of online connections that Salvationists and friends each have, the message could well reach millions of people worldwide.’
