Yup, that’s from the Salvation Army all right.

Doesn’t sound like they are saying Christianity is institutionally racist, and that whites should apologize for it there either, does it?

In fact, no one on this thread has managed to prove that they said that yet,
nor produce where it was published on their sites, nor produce a screen
shot proving the allegation.

I might believe that one misguided, successfully infiltrated segment of the
organization might indeed hold that view, but no-one here has managed to prove it.

From your link:

“ Of course, conversations about race in our country have evolved over the years. So it’s no surprise that I’m sometimes asked what The Salvation Army has to say about critical race theory. Yet because of this unshakable commitment to unity, my answer is always the same.

For us, racial justice has never been about one social theory or another. We’ve never taken our lead from academic papers, party platforms, political pundits, or popular polls. In our view, one simply cannot go wrong with the time-tested, thoroughly scriptural idea that everyone is made in the image of God. So while The Salvation Army may consist of people with different perspectives and experiences, we remain united in Christ. We are called to be one Army, worshiping and serving one Lord. And His love for us is the model for why and how we should love each other.

Have we made mistakes over the years? Of course, we have. Do we want to keep learning? You bet. Are we willing to discuss ways in which we might reach out even more effectively to people of color? Absolutely. Discussion is what reasonable people do.

But nothing — nothing — will ever change the fundamental spiritual commitments that have characterized The Salvation Army for more than 156 years. Our message is still based on the Bible. Our ministry is still motivated by the love of God. And our mission is still to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

We’re not on the left, and we’re not on the right. We’re where we’ve always been — following Christ. And we always will be.”

How many of you still want to cancel the Salvation Army without an investigation, even? Shame on you.

@thecodont - Thank you for your post.
