| 释义 |
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] 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] Its quasi-military organization suggests that the charity retains similarities to the Salvation Army as with the Volunteers of America.[2] The charity operates shelters for the homeless, workshops for the disabled, and halfway houses for the chemically dependent, in addition to engaging in evangelism.[2] American Rescue Workers publishes a quarterly periodical, The Rescue Herald.[1] The Church has a membership of 2700,[3] and is headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=New Catholic Dictionary: American Rescue Workers |url=http://saints.sqpn.com/ncd00459.htm |accessdate=2011-05-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924135518/http://saints.sqpn.com/ncd00459.htm |archivedate=2012-09-24 |df= }} 2. ^1 {{Cite book | last = Mead| first = Frank Spencer| authorlink = Frank Spencer Mead|author2=Samuel S.
