What once was a principles-focused Salvation Army has become an ideologically "woke" army, marching to the regressive whims of culture.
What once was a principles-focused Salvation Army has become an ideologically "woke" army, marching to the regressive whims of culture.
For generations, the Salvation Army embodied charity, compassion, and the hope of salvation to a broken world. Over the years, I've embraced the opportunity to volunteer for the Salvation Army by serving meals to the poor and needy and by gleefully ringing the Christmas bell for Red Kettle donations. I loved the many acts of broad and nonstop charity and goodwill the Salvation Army extended to all of humanity, as it was a reminder of the Gospel mission. The Salvation Army had honorable principles and stood reliably strong as an institution in my mind. Until now.
Salvation Army documents reveal that the organization has gone woke. Instead of appreciating all people groups and continuing on an unbiased and uncompromising mission to serve all people compassionately, the Salvation Army now thinks it's somehow okay to view people through the lens of "race." Somewhere deep in its leadership, the Army saw the enemy and embraced it.
Race consideration and connotations are an obvious outcome of Critical Race Theory (CRT), or adjunct theology (Liberation Theology, for instance). Viewing people by race or class is wholly antithetical to any organization committed to providing compassionate and unbiased services to any and all people or groups in need. Woke schemes see everything about human culture in one paradigm: "oppressors vs. oppressed" or "victimizers vs. victims." Without exception, the oppressors and victimizers are "White" by definition.

Well, good luck with that!
I heard they retracted that part of the training and said “Oh, it was only for our employees.”
As if that makes a whit of difference.
So sad.
Was saddened when Chick-Fil-A went Woke, but that's a for-profit concern, and if I'm getting "fast-food" (rarely), it's still the best around.
But SA was strictly not-for-profit, indeed their only "profit" was winning souls for Christ.
The same evil spirit that wormed its way into main-line Christian denominations is at work everywhere.
"Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly."
i’m putting a note in our kettle that says Train THIS.
The current leadership has stained the red-kettle brand.
Look up!! Maranatha!!!
The SA bell ringer was out at the local Walmart yesterday afternoon. I went prepared with my letter to the local SA leadership. I expressed my displeasure and that I would be withholding future donations or labor from them. The bell ringer asked me what the piece of paper was and I explained to her my position. She said she understood and had mixed feelings about the decision herself.
Jesus’s salvation is not woke. These wokesters are fast asleep in a dystopian nightmare.
Whit supremacist???
The SA’s website says it is fine with same sex relationships and provides BENEFITS to those employees in same sex relationships. It has been like this for several years.

This alone is enough to jettison them as any kind of Christian org.
Take a lump of coal and drop it into the kettle. Enough of that and they will get the message.
Money on retirement is tight. They made it very easy for me going forward. And I will be writing them a letter telling them so.
“Our hiring practices are open to all, and we provide the same benefits to opposite-sex and same-sex couples.”

Straight from the horse’s mouth.
Maranatha!
Here is a link to the SalvationArmy’s woke document on racism, which they then denied the existence of by removing it. Of course the internet is forever.

All you have to do is look at the Salvation Army’s website.

MS. ALVA ADAMS-MASON
Director, Multicultural Business Alliance & Strategy
Toyota Motor North America
Dallas, Texas

“she is a member of the Advisory Council of the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education & Leadership Institute’s “21st Century Council”. Mason also spearheads Toyota’s relationships with and support of the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies. “
They willingly named a known racist to their advisory board along with the standard corporate chieftans who are usually leftists.
BTW- this is the way the Boy Scouts were taken out. Corporations offered money for board positions. When enough leftists were on board, the leftists took it out.

Would probably trigger them to add woke climate science to their repertoire.
