Leadership in The Salvation Army

Více o knize

The book delves into the historical evolution of leadership within The Salvation Army, emphasizing the shift towards clericalisation and the increasing status of leadership roles. It highlights the 1978 adoption of "ordination" for officers, marking a significant change in the organization's approach. The analysis reveals a pragmatic ecclesiology that has developed largely in isolation, influenced more by sociological factors than by theological considerations. Additionally, it explores the ongoing tension between the Army's egalitarian theology and its hierarchical military structure.
