Others Magazine

By Scott Simpson

As with all journeys, there must ultimately be an end. After 20 years of sharing the stories of The Salvation Army in the Australia Eastern Territory, with the December issue of Pipeline the curtain falls on an iconic publication.

In line with National Commander Commissioner Floyd Tidd’s vision for a “new creation” of The Salvation Army in Australia, the Pipeline masthead will be retired as the Australia Eastern Territory editorial team transitions to a new-look National Editorial Department. From that department will come a new national internal magazine, due for launch in February 2017.

Our publications have always been viewed as important mouthpieces for The Salvation Army’s leadership in Australia. They play a crucial role in facilitating two-way communication between territorial headquarters and Salvationists serving across our vast country.

Subsequently, leadership has determined that editorial will be at the forefront of the Australia One project to create a new National Territory out of the Army’s two territories (Eastern and Southern) in Australia.

As we journey towards one territory, this new national publication will carry key messages from our leaders to the tens of thousands of Salvationists and others associated with The Salvation Army across our land.

These are exciting days for our Army. While some doors are closing, many new opportunities are waiting to be explored. As we stand on the threshold of 2017, a new chapter in the long and rich history of The Salvation Army in Australia is about to be written.

Pipeline Online will continue to operate as the Australia Eastern Territory’s news and stories website until 31 January, 2017.

A new national magazine will launch in February 2017. A 12-month subscription costs $24 (includes postage and handling) for 12 months. To subscribe, go to pipelineonline.org/subscribe. Alternatively, you can download a subscription form and mail it to the following address with a cheque for $24.
