Salvation Army History
The East London Christian Mission became the Salvation Army in 1878. At the meeting where the change took place, William Booth (Founder) and his colleagues announced,
"The Christian Mission has met in Congress to make War. It has organized a Salvation Army to carry the blood of Christ and the fire of the Holy Ghost into every corner of the world."
