Английская Википедия:American Rescue Workers
Шаблон:Short description The American Rescue Workers is a Christian denomination and charity in the United States. The organization was founded in 1882 by Thomas E. Moore as a splinter group from The Salvation Army in response to financial disagreements between Moore and Salvation Army founder William Booth.[1][2] In 1885 the organization officially adopted a charter as the Salvation Army of America, but in 1913 it was renamed American Rescue Workers and has functioned under this name since that time.[1][2] Its quasi-military organization suggests that the charity retains similarities to the Salvation Army as with the Volunteers of America.[3] The charity operates shelters for the homeless, workshops for the disabled, and halfway houses for the chemically dependent in addition to engaging in evangelism.[3] American Rescue Workers publishes a quarterly periodical, The Rescue Herald.[1]
The Church has a membership of 2700,[4] and is headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.[5]
