High Council welcome to be live-streamed
19 May 2018
The formal Welcome to the High Council event will be held at Central Hall Westminster, London, today, Saturday 19 May.
The formal Welcome to the High Council event, being held at Central Hall Westminster in London on Saturday 19 May, will be broadcast live around the world.
Full, live coverage from Central Hall Westminster will be available as a high-definition webcast on the High Council web page, and via Facebook Live.
The event will also be available to view immediately after the live broadcast has concluded. It will be on IHQ’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SalvationArmyIHQ/) and You Tube channels, as well as sar.my/tv and the High Council web page.
The gathering, which will double as the Retirement Salute for General André Cox and Commissioner Silvia Cox, World President of Women’s Ministries, will bring together the 111 senior officers who are responsible for leading The Salvation Army at International Headquarters and in 128 countries worldwide, and who will meet to elect the next General.
Music will be provided by the International Staff Band of The Salvation Army, the International Staff Songsters and special guest soloists.
Reflecting the internationalism of the event and the General’s Zimbabwean links, African Praise will bring the fervent, eclectic rhythms that are the signature of a vibrant worship style which combines dance and song.
Timbrels from Boscombe Corps (United Kingdom) will round off this uniquely Salvation Army event in traditional form.
Half an hour of preliminary music will begin at 3.30pm (GMT), ensuring that each music group has ample opportunity to prepare the congregation for the celebratory yet sacred moments ahead.
The Welcome to the High Council serves as an opportunity for Salvationists worldwide to pray for and worship with those tasked with electing the next world leader of The Salvation Army over the subsequent few days.
The ministry of current international leaders General André Cox and Commissioner Silvia Cox will also be honoured, as they prepare to enter retirement in August.
