Landmark Women's Event - Bound-Less - Planned for International Congress

Women are to benefit from a unique opportunity to celebrate and worship together during the 150th anniversary congress

Bound-Less

WOMEN connected with The Salvation Army are to benefit from a unique opportunity to celebrate and worship together during the 150th anniversary congress, Boundless – The Whole World Redeeming, in July this year. Bound-Less will unite Salvation Army women from across the world as they consider three themes: 'Unrestricted', 'Liberated' and 'Released'.

Held in the Boundless Theatre venue at London's O₂ arena at 2.30 pm on Friday 3 July, Bound-Less will give Salvationists opportunity to acknowledge and applaud the impact of women’s contributions to The Salvation Army’s worldwide mission. The gathering will include upbeat, enthusiastic singing and musical presentations, and will showcase some of the most effective women's ministries programmes from around the globe. Special guest speakers will challenge and empower all who join together for the event.

Commissioner Rosalie Peddle (Zonal Secretary for Women's Ministries, Americas and Caribbean) anticipates that the gathering will energise and embolden the international attendees. She explains: ‘Life for women in the 21st century is busy and challenging, and this event seeks to engage delegates in a celebration of their Christian faith. Through the amazing diversity found throughout The Salvation Army’s 126 countries, we want to encourage women in their spiritual development. Bound-Less aims to inspire the living of transformed, holy lives – enabling the women of The Salvation Army to be people of compassion, justice and action; winning their families, friends and communities for Christ.’

Boundless – The Whole World Redeeming runs from 1–5 July 2015, marking the 150th anniversary of The Salvation Army.
