MISSION FOUNDED ON THIS DAY IN 1865


https://portland.salvationarmy.org/portland2/ways-to-give/

In the East End of London on July 2, 1865, revivalist preacher
William Booth and his wife Catherine (above)
establish the
Christian Mission, later known as the Salvation Army
.

Determined to wage war against the evils of poverty and
religious indifference with military efficiency, Booth modeled
his Methodist sect after the British army, labeling uniformed
ministers as “officers” and new members as “recruits.”

Today, the Salvation Army, still based in London, is active in
more than 130 countries. The Army operates evangelical
centers,
hospitals, emergency and disaster services, alcohol
and drug
rehabilitation programs, community centers, social
work centers,
secondhand stores, and recreation facilities.

Voluntary contributions and profits from the sale of its
publications fund the organization.


       

In 1880, The Salvation Army expanded its mission beyond England,  establishing a presence in the United States. The organization had been  founded in 1865 by William Booth, a former Methodist minister and

EARLIEST EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Amulet in grave
(Frankfurt Archaeological Museum)

(FOX NEWS) – The earliest known evidence of Christianity north
of Italy was recently unveiled by archaeologists, who call the
discovery one of the "most important testimonies of early
Christianity."

The artifact, publicized by the Frankfurt Archaeological Museum
last week, is called the Frankfurt silver inscription. Discovered
in 2018, the inscription has been analyzed and studied for years
before finally being released to the public this month.

The Frankfurt silver inscription is an engraving on silver foil that
consists of 18 lines written in Latin. It dates to between 230 and
260 A.D. and was discovered wrapped in a small silver amulet.

In a press release translated from German, the museum explained
that the artifact was found in a third-century grave in Hesse,
Germany, in what was once the former Roman city of Nida.

The inscription begins, "In the name of Saint Titus, Holy, holy,
holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, God’s Son!"
