The covenant every Salvation Army soldier signs on entering membership, also called the Articles of War, committing to "be actively involved, as I am able, in the life, work, worship and witness of the corps, giving as large a proportion of my income as possible to support its ministries and the worldwide work of the Army."
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the organization's own binding covenant text, published by its own International Headquarters and signed by every soldier on entering membership; a live governance page rather than a dated document, so no publication year is recorded. States directly that a soldier commits to "giving as large a proportion of my income as possible to support its ministries and the worldwide work of the Army," naming no percentage and no minimum.
