Bush & The Salvation Army
2007-04-29 03:38:00 Note: Originally published as a guest editorial in my hometown newspaper, July 2001My husband and I discussed faith‑based initiatives often since President Bush raised the issue. Our neighbors might call it arguing. What they may not understand is that if one cannot not discuss an issue with passion (a.k.a. volume), it isn't worth discussing in the first place. It's not that we're on opposite sides of the issue. We're much closer than that. I'm foursquare against it. Separating church from state is good for religious freedom, and even better for the rest of the freedoms we hold dear. I’m not anti religious, I’m anti moral superiority. He is, or more accurately was, neutral on the question. He believed it could be a good thing if handled correctly. Religious institutions can be closer to the people who need services. What won him over to my position was the Salvation Army document exposed by The Washington Post. The internal and private communique, states t...

Toko Komura - Japanese Salvation Army School Teacher in Kingston
2007-04-16 02:03:00 Toko Komura is from Kanagwa (Chigasaki) near Tokyo in Japan. Trained in tutoring the blind, she now teaches swimming and physical education at the Salvation Army School for the Blind in Kingston. A love affair with the sea and with children has made this the perfect career choice for her. "I love feeling free and I am an energetic person, so I go to the sea every week. Looking up at the sky every day and swimming in the pool also make me feel free," she tells Outlook. Toku came to Jamaica, she said, because "one of my dreams was to work with children all over the world. I love swimming and so when the Japanese Overseas Volunteer programme asked for a swimming instructor, it was my joy and my dream come true. I took the examinations and passed, now I am here." At the Salvation Army School for the Blind, the instructor says, "Everyone calls me Ms. Toko. I take care of the pool every day so students name the pool 'Ms. Toko's baby'. I feel happy when I hear that." japanese flag Some ...

Salvation Army kettle turned into pot o? gold
2006-12-08 20:24:02 Amidst the crass commercialization of the Christmas holiday, the following story is a rare gem that reflects what this season is supposed to represent — generous giving to others: BARRE, Vt. (AP) ? With the drop of a single coin into a Salvation Army holiday collection kettle, the group may have been enriched by as much as $14,000. The donated 1908 Indian head coin has a face value of $2.50, said Capt. Louis Patrick. It’s worth at least at $250 and possibly as much as $14,000, according to a preliminary analysis. “I was shocked,” Patrick said. “I’ve heard of this happening in other places, but I’ve never actually seen it.” The coin was enclosed in a protective plastic case. “It was an incredibly generous thing to do,” Patrick said. “We are very appreciative.” The Salvation Army plans to have the coin appraised and sold, possibly before the end of the holiday season. “One hundred percent of the money will ...
