Meeting to elect the 20th Salvation Army General will commence July 29.
The Chief of the Staff, Commissioner André Cox, summoned members of the High Council to meet on July 29 to elect the 20th General of The Salvation Army. All leaders who are commissioners on active service or who are territorial commanders or territorial presidents of women’s ministries of any rank qualify for membership of the High Council.
This High Council will be the largest in the history of The Salvation Army, with 118 members— 64 women and 54 men with an average age of 59.
The meeting will take place at the Renaissance Hotel, near Heathrow to the west of London, instead of at Sunbury Court, the usual venue, which is being renovated.
