Preacher & reformer
William Booth
Founded the Salvation Army in the East End of London, organised it like a regiment, and insisted that people be fed before they were preached at.
William Booth was an English Methodist preacher who, along with his wife, Catherine, founded the Salvation Army and became its first General (1878 to 1912). This Christian movement, founded in 1865, has a quasi-military structure and government and has spread from London to many parts of the world. It is one of the largest distributors of humanitarian aid.
