Ballington Booth Left Salvation Army Father in America
A London report recounts Ballington Booth resigning from the Salvation Army rather than leaving America. He stayed due to affection for the United States, while Maud Ballington Booth supported remaining in the land of the free. The episode followed London’s 1896 decision to reassign leaders, leading to Booth’s formation of The Volunteers of America amid disputes over discipline and property.
