Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: the organization's own territorial page on its long-running annual appeal, dating the practice to 1886 under General William Booth and describing participation, including setting aside a week's salary, as a personal calling: "not out of duty, but from a deep love for others and for God's Kingdom." A genuine institutional source, but a promotional appeal page rather than a doctrinal or governance document, and it states no percentage or due. Citation
