Church Army
Religious organization within the Church of England founded in 1882 by Wilson Carlile (1847–1942), an industrialist converted after the failure of his textile firm, who became a cleric in 1880. Originally intended for evangelical and social work in the London slums, it developed along Salvation Army lines, and has done much work among ex-prisoners and for the soldiers of both world wars.
