Heritage Series 08 – Visual Glossary

The Salvation Army has a visually rich heritage. Much of it is militaristic in nature with significant evangelical and social overtones. A significant Māori history is also a vital part of The Salvation Army in New Zealand along with the Pacific nations of Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.

While a glossary may be regarded as an alphabetical list of words relating to a specific subject or organisation, with explanations, in the case of The Salvation Army so much of such a glossary can be associated with visual examples of the terms, symbols and designations of the organisation.

Considering this, a ‘Visual Glossary’ seems the perfect way to bring together words and images to provide deeper insight into the nature and history of The Salvation Army, with a New Zealand, Māori and Pasifika perspective.

Included are many examples of symbols, ranks, titles, phrases and acronyms, both current and historical. While many of the items contained are relevant today, there is a significant volume from our history that is worthy of inclusion. For students of Salvation Army history, and those seeking to become more familiar with the unique perspective that is The Salvation Army, we hope this resource will be of great assistance.
