Salvation Army exhibiting at sex trade show in Australia

The Salvation Army has raised some eyebrows in Australia after setting up a promotional stall at a sex and pornographic trade exhibition in the country's second largest city of Melbourne, reports Ecumenical News International.

Each year, many hundreds of people pass through the yearly trade exhibition, known as Sexpo that features adult entertainment industry products, including sex-oriented items, but this year they will see a Salvation Army booth for the first time.

The Salvation Army's social justice director Captain Danielle Strickland said it would distribute information on human trafficking through the international "Stop the Traffik" campaign, as well as "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" New Testaments made for those who are searching for meaning through the sex trade.
