Introduction

Captain Stephen Court
Greetings in Jesus' name,
friends.
Holy Incarnation! May this season gush with holy anticipation
and fulfillment in your warfare and recreation. And may this
issue prompt both.
We're blessed with several new contributors in this issue,
including cadets and candidates from three territories: Mat Badger,
Andy Miller III, and Michael Ramsay.
Commissioner Wesley Harris kicks off an intriguing series on
Souvenirs of Salvationism. And we've got two for you here.
Note that his generation (on the tail end of the 'greatest
generation') speaks with as revolutionary a language as the
millennials.
Miller offers up a future model for us, The Hospitable Army.
This is of specific interest to those wrestling with the
relationship of corps/social entities.
Badger analyses the changing nature of officership from the
perspective of Commissioner Samuel Logan Brengle's six
conditions for Institutional mission, in a major research
paper.
Ramsay does our homework for us on covenant.
Richard Munn offers us a violent Christmas carol.
McAlister preaches a wonderful look at the Christmas story
(soon enough that you can crib notes for a coming Sunday).
Evans greets us from the front porch.
Eric Himes shares a vision of the praise that Jesus walks on.
Janet Munn teaches us on fasting.
Danielle Strickland, in an excerpt from her forthcoming book
CHAOTIC ORDER, exposes the balance myth.
Patricia King leads us in a devotional study on Dunamis Power.
And I throw out a coupe of bones for you to gnaw on.
Enjoy.
I trust that at the turn of the year you can celebrate God's
faithfulness and victory in your midst and wholeheartedly
consecrate 2006 to His pleasure. Remember to pray for the
exercises of the High Council, that they elect whoever God has
dreamed up for this strategic season ahead of us, and that
this individual presses in to His glory for His glory.
God bless The Salvation Army.
Stay close to Jesus. Much grace. I remain,
Yours in the struggle for world conquest, Stephen Court JAC
