When The Salvation Army’s founder, William Booth, was told by his son about all the homeless people sleeping on the banks of the Thames, his response was simple, ‘Go and do something.’ That was in the middle of the Nineteenth Century. But today The Salvation Army’s philosophy is exactly the same. Ahead of their time, the Booths took an innovative approach by demonstrating their faith by offering practical support to people in need out on the streets on London and beyond. The early Salvationists, as today, took their Gospel message to the people in their own environments, largely in the streets and markets of the towns. In 1878, Charles Fry and his three sons formed a brass quartet which played during outdoor meetings in Salisbury, it was this which was essentially the beginning of the Salvation Army’s brass band programme. 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of The Salvation Army, so as a celebratory tribute, Kerry Goodwin has designed a vase depicting a Salvation Army brass band. Band music has always been an integral part of their worship, public events and church community. It is therefore a pleasure to see a smartly-dressed bandsmen and songsters parading around Kerry’s design, triumphantly sharing their ‘soul-saving’ messages. The background of the design sees the characteristic black and white buildings of Cathedral city, Salisbury, where the first Salvation Army Band played. This amusing and jovial design induces the same ‘feel-good’ notion that The Salvation Army have been spreading for 150 years.
