Marching As To War: The Salvation Army Invasion of Montreal, 1884-85
|
| Abstract |
Confronted with serious opposition on its arrival in Montreal in 1884-85, the Salvation Army quickly shifted from efforts to convert Catholics towards offering social services to the city’s needy. The author argues that the reaction within Roman Catholic ethnic neighborhoods (French and Irish) in Montreal altered the aggressive methods of the Salvation Army's evangelical Protestant mission from retail (individual) to wholesale (social) salvation. The outcome of this tussle was that the Salvation Army made social services its primary mission and placed its evangelical Protestant religious emphasis in second place in its public priorities by 1890. Following its shift, the Salvation Army was supported by other Protestants and tolerated by moderate Francophone Catholics, but Irish Catholics saw in the organization’s methods a distasteful parallel to the methods of the Orange Order.
