   “The missional nature of the church, the issue of sacraments and the “non-observance” tradition of the Army, the

   the life of the church; examined more closely the ultimate hope of the Dialogue and defined the immediate goal as ‘the
   strengthening of relationships among the member churches of The World Methodist Council and The Salvation
   Army for the purposes of united witness and service in the world’”
