William Booth (1829-1912), a Methodist preacher from the East End of London who in 1865 founded what was to become the Salvation Army. A social justice reformer, he abandoned the conventional concept of a church and pulpit, holding evangelistic meetings on the streets and offering practical support to people in need, reaching out to the 'poor and destitute'. In 1878, this Christian Mission for saving souls and relieving distress was reorganised on quasi-military lines as the Salvation Army, with Booth as its first General. His wife Catherine Booth was a strong proponent of equality for women and successfully fought for the right of women to preach at church meetings. The Salvation Army has subsequently spread to many parts of the world.
