The Salvation Army Family Services & Thrift Store Norwich

To all of our valued customers, we miss you and we hope to be able to see all of you really soon!

Thank you, Dr. King. "He (Jesus) knew that the old eye-for-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame ...evil with good. Although crucified by hate, He responded with aggressive love." #CelebrateHisLife #MLKDay #MartinLutherKingJr #LoveAlwaysWins

Taken from The Salvation Army positional statement on racism. Find the full positional statement here: https://s3.amazonaws.com//7d3c015c-1af5-4211-830f-b7b0c6a6 #salvationarmy #weareequal

George Floyd. That’s his name. Say it with me... Take a moment to view this powerful message by Commissioner Willis Howell, territorial commander of the USA S...outhern Territory. Floyd’s tragic death has once again forced us to confront the awful reality of racismin the United States, in Canada and around the world. We’re an Army that made a name for ourselves by the way rampant sin and unchecked injustice stirred us to Christian action, notes Commissioner Howell. Let’s demonstrate the love of Jesus by standing with those who are singled out and disparaged simply on the basis of their skin colour ... and do our part to eliminate injustice, violence, hatred and bigotry. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tBY_hc4FXLk
