Question about soldiership

[Andy Broadley]

I would no more expect some one who can't attend due to distance to be prevented from being a soldier than I would an elderly house bound person.

And the difference between soldiers adherants and friends does not lie in these factors imo. It lies in what God calls us to. If God called an Aussie to soldiership, then sent them to the middle of nowhere, then maybe it would be as a soldier of the SA. Sure another church might need to be attended- o for the olden days! When a soldier in that situaltion would just be able to get on and set up a new Corps!

Five Salvationists founded the Army's work in Australia.

And they established 47 corps within 5 years of starting.

We haven't attended the SA for over six years. The officer of the Corps we used to attend calls us from time to time to see if we want our membership transferring to our new church. Up til now our new church hasn't had formal membership so there's been nothing for him to transfer us to but that's about to change. We'll be able to call him and ask him to transfer us instead! But clearly we're still 'on the books' six years down the line!

Hmmm... y'know, I'd just try to do that anyway. Does it matter if it's not considered an official corps for a few years?

Not to God it doesn't.

And seeing how it's His Army, that's what matters.

But there might not be BONNETS...!

You guys start a corps - and I'll bring the popcorn, sit up the back and watch...

If it's in Nimbin, it might finally give me a good reason to get DH down there again (scared him too much last time)...

Hmmmph... you come along, you get involved, girlie!!

Just make sure it's not during Mardi Grass, this time (annual marijuana festival, for all those not 'in the know')

So that's why you always seem to be wearing the same clothes every time I see you!!

I always liked the bonnets better than the hats.... Everyone knew a Sallie by their bonnets...besides Andy would look cute in a bonnet
