They will be introduced to The Salvation Army’s role in advocating justice both in the past and the present. Corps cadets will learn that justice and fairness are not the same thing as well as how to practice justice.

The Tolerance lessons help corps cadets to see the difference between respect and acceptance as they unpack the issue of judging others. As they consider the incident of Jesus flipping tables at the Temple, they will see His example of what it means to live out biblical tolerance. They will also be introduced to The Salvation Army’s Revolution Hawaii ministry and the International Social Justice Commission’s internship program as well as learn about how to share their testimony. And they will look at what it means to stand for truth, while at the same time, loving like Jesus.
