Module One is over!

Finished, done, complete - at last the Ambassadors can take a deep breath and sigh for thier intense research project which covered the last four weeks has come to an end.

Yesterday the three groups presented thier findings to each other - focussing on The Salvation Army's ecclesiology (understanding of itself in relation to the 'Church').

Is The Salvation Army a Church or Movement - or something in between?

One group discussed this through understanding our Weslyan orgins and practises. Another group looked at our relationship with denominations. The third traced the evolution of these ideas through the General's statements. A most interesting morning.

Today brings to a close the written report section and our individual inquiry reports, including all the finicky bits such as annotated bibliographies and a whole lot of paperwork. People today tend to be in just a little bit of a happier mood and I'm sure there will be a most well deserved sleepin for many tomorrow.

Well - One down, seven more to go...
