HIGH COUNCIL TO ELECT NEW GENERAL

On January 20, 2005, at the Sunbury Court Conference Centre in London, the next High Council will convene to elect the 18th General of The Salvation Army. Army leaders from around the world will decide who will be the successor to General John Larsson (a musician), who retires at midnight on April 1, 2006.


The summons from Commissioner Israel Gaither, Chief of the Staff, calls all active commissioners and territorial commanders to this historic council.

This High Council will be the largest to date, with a likely membership of 102, including 86 commissioners and 16 colonels.

A pre-High Council conference, let by General Larsson, will be held at Sunbury Court January 17-19, 2006.
