    Australian Officers Serving in Canada: Captains Chris and Nichole Maxwell

    For Captains Chris and Nichole Maxwell, two Salvation Army officers from Australia, moving to Canada was a leap of faith. They had never visited the country prior to moving here, they'd be bringing three young children with them, and it was in the middle of a pandemic. But trusting in God’s calling to overseas service has been an immense blessing for the Maxwells and for their church, Kingston Citadel in Ontario, where they have been corps officers since January 2022.  On this episode, we talk about their calling; about some of the biggest and most surprising differences between The Salvation Army in Australia and Canada; and about their church’s process of rebuilding after Covid and how Kingston Citadel has a renewed vision and is thriving today.

    From Downtown to Everytown: City-Rural Ministries Roundtable, With Major Mike Hoeft and Lieutenant Jeremy Thompson

    The Salvation Army was born on the streets of London, England, and urban ministry is still central to our calling. But since its founding, the Army has expanded far beyond the urban centres, and in the Canada and Bermuda Territory today, about half of our ministry units are in urban settings, while the other half are in rural areas.  What are the different strengths and challenges in city and rural ministries? And what can those who are ministering in these different contexts learn from each other?  Major Mike Hoeft, an area commander in the Prairies and Northern Territories Division, and Lieutenant Jeremy Thompson, a corps officer in downtown Toronto, share their thoughts on these questions and more in this urban-rural ministries roundtable.

    Mentoring the Next Generation of Songwriters

    In The Salvation Army, we have an abundance of gifted composers and songwriters, both experienced and emerging. And that’s why Music Editorial, which is based in the United Kingdom and Ireland Territory, began a composition mentoring program.  Through the year-long program, an experienced composer or songwriter meets one-on-one with a new one, giving them practical as well as spiritual support, creating a relationship that involves both teaching and sharing faith together. On this episode, two participants in the program share their experience—Simon Gough from the Canada and Bermuda Territory, in the mentor role, and Dominique Bradley from the United Kingdom, in the emerging songwriter role.

    Reconciliation at the Winnipeg Centre of Hope: Corinne Peterkin

    As we prepare to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, we sit down with Corinne Peterkin, who is the Indigenous liaison at The Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope in Winnipeg. Corinne shares some of her own personal story as a Sixties Scoop survivor, and she walks us through the many ways the Centre of Hope is living the journey of reconciliation today. As she notes, reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples is not a one-day thing, and she offers some really helpful, practical suggestions for how Salvationists and other ministry units can practise reconciliation as well.  Further Reading and Resources Who We Are by Murray Sinclair (audiobook recommended) For Joshua by Richard Wagamese (audiobook recommended) You Were Made for This World edited by Stephanie Sinclair and Sara Sinclair National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation website
