Membership Working Group update
An update following the final report of the Membership Working Group.
The Membership Working Group presented its final report and recommendations to territorial leadership on 27 August. Over the coming months, leadership will prayerfully discern the way forward.
During this time, the report will be shared with International Headquarters – it is hoped it may be of value to international leadership as they hold the responsibility across the worldwide Army for such things as the Junior Soldier’s Promise, the Soldier’s Covenant, criteria for adherency and associated Orders and Regulations.
Territorial leadership will update the territory on outcomes in 2025.
Territorial Leaders Commissioners Jenine and Paul Main said: ‘We are grateful to everyone who has been involved in the territorial conversations about belonging and membership over this past year. The report and recommendations are the result of thousands of people sharing their experiences – there is a lot for territorial leadership to reflect on. Please join us in praying for wisdom over the way forward.'
