I’m probably wrong; God knows I’ve been pig-piled on about this plenty. But I believe that truth is more important than branding and principles are more important than branding. Disappointing that this organization caved the same way Ryan, McCain, etc., caved.
It would’ve been a perfect opportunity for them to have explained the truth to the public (assuming they knew the truth). People respect(ed) the Salvation Army; people would’ve listened to them.
I’m not a S.A. hater; I went to a S.A. summer camp in upstate NY when I was a kid when my uncle preached there. They’ve changed.
On a charity-related note, Samaritan’s Purse is working Harvey, now Irma, too. :-)
