The Church Army, a volunteer Anglican organization, was founded in 1882 by Wilson Carlile in the slums of Westminster, England, on the model of the Salvation Army. Organized for evangelistic purposes, since 1889 its activities have included social and moral welfare work among the poor in cities, and missions in prisons and workhouses.
