In 1865, William Booth, a British ordained minister with the Methodist New Connection formed an evangelical group which preached to people living in poverty within London’s East End. In addition to preaching the Gospel, Booth became involved in the feeding and shelter of the hungry, the homeless and the rehabilitation of those with alcohol addiction. Soon they were tagged, ‘Soap, Soup and Salvation Army.’ Booth’s original ‘Christian Mission’ became The Salvation Army in 1878 when it became modeled after the military structure.
