a Dave thought...

After travelling to Perth on the weekend and being congratulated on being a Salvo and people wanting to chat with me I have been thinking of the movements early days in the 1880's and the history I have read. It seems to me that instead of Salvationists being applauded and offered money that they were booed and heckled. The stories go so far as they were often pelted with eggs and tomatoes and the ladies wore bonnets for protection fom missiles.

So should we proud that we have turned our public appreciation around in 129 years and now we are one of the biggest money attracting charities in the world, or would we rather be out and about disturbing the status quo and upsetting the masses with a radical gospel? Obviously it would be great to do both but somehow it seems to get hard when we serve two masters.

Just a thought.
