‘“Think of a doctrine – any doctrine between 200 and 2013 AD. Multiply it by historic confessions. Divide by denominational variations. Add a suspicion of heresy.

The implications for The Salvation Army are therefore as follows:
To ensure that the person and mission of Christ are the centre of who we are and what we do.

To seek for the ‘3rd alternative’ in our partnering with others.
To be more active in seeking out partners with whom we can engage in God’s mission.
