ROOTS Scotland
Changing Minds – The Challenge Ahead
“The concept behind ROOTS is of mission and spiritual renewal. This is an ideal time for The Salvation Army in Scotland. The emphasis being placed on mission and renewal through the Scotland Mission Strategy Group, correlates very closely with the philosophy of ROOTS. I saw a real providence in having the opportunity to invite ROOTS to Scotland in 2012. My hope is that the founding vision of ROOTS, that of renewed spiritual life and passionate mission will be the outcomes of the event.” Lieut. Colonel Alan Burns, Scotland Secretary.
