I asked my Step-Father, he realized that I knew nothing about the church. He started to question me and saw that I always have assumed it was just family and friends gathering around and sharing the stories at nice brick building. On that night, he took his time to introduce me to Jesus Christ and explained about how He created the Earth and His life on the Earth. After that, he made sure that I had a Sign Language Interpreter at our church for the rest of my life. For twenty years, I was very involved in my church such as serving, praying, signing, and teaching.
Once these people accepted the word of God, the traditional church would not accept these people because of their past. Booth disagreed with that and continued to give these people spiritual direction. The Salvation Army is set up in somewhat of a military fashion. It is composed of commissioners, Salvation Army officers, Salvation Army solders, the national advisory board, and Salvation Army volunteers (“The Salvation Army”, 2015). All of these people assist in disaster relief, run charity shops, operate homeless shelters, and aid those in need all over the world.

Rogers was raised in the country where he spent many lonely times in solitude and as his parents felt that they did not want their children to be influenced by society their children had very little opportunity to mix with other young people.

To prepare him, he enrolled to study history at the University of Wisconsin During his time there, he met a group of likeminded students whose home and religious back ground were similar to his own. At the age of twenty, Rogers had an opportunity to visit China along with his group of friends to take part in a Christian conference.
AP US History Roots of Social Reform From the late eighteenth century until the middle of the nineteenth century, the Second Great Awakening swept over America to revive the religious values of settlers that they had seemed to have lost. During this movement, thousands were influenced to convert to new sects of Christianity, joining groups such as the Baptists and the Methodists, whereas dissatisfied others went on to create their own doctrines and start new ways of faith, such as the Mormons. Many, in their encouragement gained from the revival, were reminded of their religious morals and how it was their duty to use such morals to improve their lives by ridding injustice and suffering. Through the newfound desire to reform their country, Americans began to make attempts at improving their society by working to limit alcohol consumption, abolish slavery, and establish women’s rights. In trying to limit alcohol consumption in America, the temperance movement was an effort by to not only limit consumption, but to encourage complete abstinence from alcohol.

My parents didn’t have a deep connection to the church, but they felt that going to church would be good for the family. Therefore, they would push my sister and I to wake up early on most Sunday’s and bribe us with an IHOP breakfast afterwards. It was always a struggle to wake up so early and to sit for two hours still and quiet. That might be a reason that I still dread going to church today.
