Salvation army gay rights

We were therefore greatly encouraged to receive a highly positive response which initiated further discussions. As a result, both bodies have been able to arrive at statements which they can endorse. The pursuit of social justice for all New Zealanders has long been central to the concerns of The Salvation Army, and both they and Rainbow Wellington endorse the proposition that tolerant and free communities are much more likely to be the product of a just society.

The LGBTQ Community and the Salvation Army

The Salvation Army recognizes the need for all people, regardless of income, to have access to rehabilitation programs. Our LGBTQ-friendly programs provide housing, food, counseling, community, and employment as we work to treat the symptoms and, ultimately, the root causes of prolonged alcohol and drug dependence.

LGBT Statement

Many of our neighbours and staff are members of marginalized communities. They are at the center of our community, inherently valued and deeply loved. They are welcome in all our churches, programs and spaces with dignity and respect. We take allegations of discrimination very seriously.
