Any marriage recognized officially by the Territorial government (not a gay marriage), is then recognized by the Salvation Army Corps Councils. So that includes every legal marriage except some of the ones being done in Hawaii.
The Salvation Army is an Evangelical movement, designed to aid anyone in coming to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. So those who have chosen a life of sin, or have been unfortunate enough to go through a divorce still enjoy the same dignity that the Church bestows upon others less fortunate---like the destitute, the AIDS victim, the felon, and the pedophile. We pray that they repent from their sins and come washed clean by the healing Blood of Jesus. Then they may participate in all the higher evangelical ministries of the Salvation Army. If they so choose to remain a non-Christian, they are always entitled to participate in the less essential ministries of the Army.
But noone represents the Army in word and deed (Officers, Soldiers, Adherents, Employees) who has denied the divinity of Christ and the redemption he gave to Mankind on the Cross at Calvary, 2000 years ago.
If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask me. Or, you can visit your local Salvation Army Corps Command and ask them.
