Salvationist Magazine: Audio edition

Where is the online PDF of this week’s issue?

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the PDF of each issue was made available online weekly for anyone to read at no cost. This was because corps and centres were closed due to Covid-19 restrictions, preventing the usual distribution of each issue. Now that subscribers can collect their issues as normal from their corps, this provision is no longer required for them.

Can I read articles from the magazine online?

Yes, you can read a number of features for free from this week’s issue, including the Bible study, on salvationist.org.uk – these are published each week alongside the printed edition of the magazine.

When will the PDF of each issue be available online?

We recognise that people value being able to access PDF editions of the magazine. Each issue will therefore be available to view and read on issuu.com two weeks after the date of the printed edition.

Can I still look at old issues of the magazine online?

Yes, you can access a free online PDF archive of issues on issuu.com.

How can I get a printed copy of this week’s magazine?

The magazine is published weekly on Saturdays and is typically delivered to corps and centres for distribution. The cover price goes towards printing and distribution costs for the magazine.

To subscribe, you can:

Speak to your corps leader to get an issue delivered to your corps or centre each week
Subscribe monthly at sps-shop.com and have it delivered to you directly each week
Subscribe annually at sps-shop.com and have it delivered to you directly each week

How is Salvationist caring for creation?

The magazine is printed on sustainably sourced paper that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the editorial team has taken steps to minimise the use of paper in its internal production processes. An online PDF of each issue is also available to view and read on issuu.com two weeks after the date of the printed edition. We are currently exploring potential options for digital magazine subscriptions.
