**The lawsuit said when Clark asked why he wasn't hired, his supervisor, Maj. Larry Hambrick, replied he was not a practicing Christian.
When asked if he was a Christian, Clark said he was a Catholic and was then informed that was why he was not selected for the position, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit said Clark complained to the Salvation Army's national headquarters, and left the organization on Aug. 19, 2005.**
Uh-oh! I think they (the Salvation Army) just put their foot in their mouth.
I can't imagine anyone giving that reply! Sounds a bit contrived to me.
I guess that means no.
Salvation Army officers(ministers) are trained to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ with I suspect not much emphasis on how to conduct a lawful employment interview. It is my understanding that there is a concerted effort going on within the Army's social service programs to reduce the influence of secularists which has probably led to this situation.
The General of the SA, our international leader, was in Rome for the installation of Benedict XVI as Pope and has asked all Salvationists to pray that God will use him to extend His kingdom
