Do we truly understand who we are as people, and whom we are called to as a church? Are we truly children of the tradition in The Salvation Army who have taken seriously the prophetic calling of our movement in the shaping of our own fields of the perception and system of language? Can we, with proper urgency, discern and articulate the points of incongruity of our church in the culture of society and the culture of the wider church, regardless of the cost?
I believe that if the Salvation Army is not willing to re-engage the workd prophetically and speak prophetically within the Church, then there is no practical use for us as a distinct people of God and no compelling reason for our continured existence.
