Will The Salvation Army have any ongoing involvement at the sold centres?
It is expected that The Salvation Army will continue to provide pastoral or chaplaincy services for an interim period, which is yet to be determined. Thereafter, we will be looking to provide an ongoing pastoral care role through the means of Corps-based community care workers, corps officers and suchlike. We envisage this could mean the leading of regular chapel services and the like. In particular, at some of the facilities (eg Inala) we are looking to have on ongoing “right of entry”, to continue to lead regular Sunday meetings/services.
