This past week, Salvation Army leaders from across the world, including Australia's Commissioner Miriam Gluyas, gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, for the International Conference of Leaders (ICL). The ICL presents leaders a chance to reflect, discuss, pray and discern the next steps for the global movement.
The event, which concluded on 28 March, featured conversations with leaders about their reflections on the conference, and how they believe the ICL’s talks will shape the future of The Salvation Army.
One such conversation was with Chief of Staff Commissioner Edward Hill, and World Secretary of Women’s Ministries Commissioner Shelley Hill.
“I think that we’ve engaged honestly, courageously [and] respectfully on big issues facing The Salvation Army, what I would call existential issues facing The Salvation Army,” Commissioner Edward Hill said.
“There’s been a great spirit in the room. I’m very encouraged because I think it bodes well for the future of our great Salvation Army … that we can do even greater things as we focus on people, mission and legacy.”
