The well known German porcelain producer W. Goebel produced in 1986 four different salvationists. Two of them, a male soldier and a female soldier were designed by Martina Franz for a special production for The Salvation Army in the U.S.A.. They represent the salvationists world-wide. The couple presented in the picture to the left are representations of William and Catherine Booth. They are the founders of The Salvation Army. The pieces were designed by Master designer Gerhard Bochmann. Since the beginnings of The Salvation Army, women as well as men have had the privilege to preach in the meetings and elsewhere. Already in the year 1859, Catherine Booth released a booklet titled "Female Ministry" dealing with the reasoning behind female preachers. |
