Abstract (sommario):

In October 1846, the men and women of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Louis (African Church) met to consider whether they would remain with the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) or align with the recently-formed Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). Two years earlier, in 1844, amid growing conflict over the question of slavery within the national Methodist Church, its General Conference had adopted a Plan of Separation that provided for the withdrawal of the southern Methodists and the creation of their own ecclesiastical government. The Plan provided that each Border State congregation would have the right to determine for itself by a vote of the majority with which of the two churches it would affiliate.After the southern conferences had organized the new MECS in May 1845, the trustees of the all-white Fourth Street Methodist Church (Fourth Street Church), whose quarterly conference exercised nominal authority over the African Church, informed the black congregants that they could retain their house of worship only if they voted to join the southern Methodists. Throwing caution to the wind, and putting at risk a decade-and-a-half of patient efforts to achieve formal congregational independence within the Methodist Church, the black congregants voted decisively, by a 110 to 7 margin, to remain affiliated with the Northern Conference.

Abstract (sommario):

ABSTRACT This article traces the life and ministry of the Rev. Samuel Snowden, the first Black pastor in the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church, who began his life as a slave on the eastern shore of Maryland. In 1818 he was called from Portland, Maine, to pastor the growing Black Methodist Episcopal congregation in Boston, Massachusetts. There he grew the first Black Methodist Episcopal congregation in New England and became a well-known and respected preacher and anti-slavery activist with a special ministry to Black seaman. At the end of his life, he opened his home as a refuge for fugitive slaves. Snowden’s son, Isaac Humphrey, became one of the first three Black men to enroll in Harvard Medical School.

Abstract (sommario):

ABSTRACT At the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1840, held in Baltimore, Maryland, a majority of delegates fully expected that a step would be taken that would restore the Church to its rightful place in the front ranks of the Temperance Movement. Instead, the conference became embroiled in a constitutional battle that pitted a minority of the delegates, representing different viewpoints, against a majority of delegates, also representing different viewpoints. The maneuvering in and around this conference illustrates parliamentary processes then common to the denomination, the character of antebellum Methodism, and the importance of temperance in the life of the Church.

Abstract (sommario):

The 1812 Methodist Episcopal Church general conference in New York City proved contentious. In his journal entry of May 17, Bishop Francis Asbury recorded that the conference participants hotly debated the power of the denomination's bishops, particularly regarding their unchecked right to appoint lesser ministers to positions of authority. While spirited, the disagreements did not deeply divide the contestants. That evening Asbury ate dinner with seventeen ministers, many of whom had fought on opposite sites. Asbury commented, “We should thank God we are not at war with each other, as are the Episcopalians, with the pen and the press as their weapons of warfare.”

Abstract Introductory sentences: We use boot camp translation (BCT), a validated community based participatory strategy, to elicit input from African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregants, leadership, and healthcare systems in Atlanta, Georgia to create culturally appropriate and locally relevant colorectal cancer (CRC) faith-based screening messages and materials for AME church communities. Brief description of pertinent experimental procedures: In the United States, CRC is the third-leading cause of cancer death and disproportionately impacts African Americans, highlighting the need for timely screening within this community. African American adults have higher annual rates of new CRC cases and are diagnosed with CRC at younger ages when compared to White adults. Regular CRC screening is pertinent to increasing the chance of early diagnosis and survival, however, African Americans are less likely to get screened for CRC than Whites. Church-based educational programs have been successful in promoting cancer screening, including CRC screening, in various racial and ethnic groups. Churches can serve as key partners in delivering health information as they are among the most trusted institutions within the African American community. As part of a collaboration among the American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, AME churches and Atlanta-based healthcare systems, we will apply BCT to develop and disseminate messaging to promote CRC screening within the AME community. The BCT session aims are twofold: 1) to identify the role of the church in bringing CRC information to the AME community and 2) to define the content and format of effective faith-based CRC messages tailored for the AME community. Summary of new, unpublished data: The BCT workshops will occur in July 2022.Statement of conclusions: We anticipate preliminary findings and materials to be ready by September 2022.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Introduction: Religion plays a significant role in Black and African American communities, yet little is known about ways to incorporate faith into colorectal cancer (CRC) screening messages and how to distribute such messages to the congregation and community. Brief description of pertinent experimental procedures: We collaborated with members of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church in Atlanta, Georgia to create culturally appropriate and locally relevant faith-based CRC screening messages and materials. We used a modified boot camp translation (BCT) approach to obtain input from AME congregants to 1) develop faith-based CRC screening messages that resonate with the AME community and 2) identify the role of the church in bringing CRC information to the AME community. Messages were developed using market-tested CRC screening messaging from the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (NCCRT) as a starting point. Eligible participants were members from six churches within the AME Atlanta East District, ages 45 to 75 years, and willing to participate in one 5-hour in-person meeting and two follow-up video-conferencing calls. The in-person session consisted of expert presentations by a national leader on CRC and screening, a local leader well-versed in barriers to screening and community resources, and a prominent figure within the church clergy. Interactive small group sessions were also part of the in-person meeting and focused on developing CRC screening messages and identifying dissemination channels. Follow-up virtual sessions (one-hour each) were conducted to solicit feedback from participants on the materials created (e.g., fact sheets, pamphlets, message cards). Summary of new, unpublished data: A total of twenty-seven adults participated in the in-person session (17 women and 10 men) and 12-13 of these individuals attended the virtual follow-up sessions. Based on input obtained, the research team developed CRC screening messages that 1) incorporated faith-based concepts into health messaging, 2) sought to raise CRC awareness and knowledge through personal connections, or 3) empowered individuals to take control of their colorectal health through the strength of their community. Messages included: “Faith over fear! Get screened for colorectal cancer today;” “Honor God by taking care of your body.” “Share your cancer story. It can save lives.” “You are not alone. We are in this together.” Participants identified the following preferred dissemination methods/channels: print materials (e.g., flyers, pamphlets, message cards) and digital materials (e.g., videos) shown during Sunday service. Additional channels included cancer awareness events and social media platforms. Conclusion: Churches serve as key partners in delivering health information as they are among the most trusted institutions within the Black and African American community. Using BCT, we incorporated participant feedback to create faith-based CRC screening messages and identified channels for sharing information within the AME church community.

Abstract (sommario):

During the late nineteenth century, James Walker Hood was bishop of the North Carolina Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and grand master of the North Carolina Grand Lodge of Prince Hall Masons. In his forty-four years as bishop, half of that time as senior bishop of the denomination, Reverend Hood was instrumental in planting and nurturing his denomination's churches throughout the Carolinas and Virginia. Founder of North Carolina's denominational newspaper and college, author of five books including two histories of the AMEZ Church, appointed assistant superintendent of public instruction and magistrate in his adopted state, Hood's career represented the broad mainstream of black denominational leaders who came to the South from the North during and after the Civil War. Concurrently, Grand Master Hood superintended the southern jurisdiction of the Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodge of New York and acted as a moving force behind the creation of the region's black Masonic lodges—often founding these secret male societies in the same places as his fledgling churches. At his death in 1918, the Masonic Quarterly Review hailed Hood as “one of the strong pillars of our foundation.” If Bishop Hood's life was indeed, according to his recent biographer, “a prism through which to understand black denominational leadership in the South during the period 1860–1920,” then what does his leadership of both the Prince Hall Lodge and the AMEZ Church tell us about the nexus of fraternal lodges and African American Christianity at the turn of the twentieth century?

Abstract (sommario):

This chapter summarizes the Benjamin Titus (B.T.) Roberts’s early life and ministry. The chapter gives particular focus to Roberts’s radical abolitionist commitments, which preceded his Christian conversion, and discusses his initial success as a pastor in the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Roberts became convinced in the mid-1850s that a “New School” in the Genesee Conference was compromising with the world in order to gain the favor of the rich and influential. Meanwhile, Matthew Simpson began to critique the leadership of the Genesee Conference in print, particularly focusing his concerns on the pew rental system and how it was contrary to Methodist discipline. Roberts eventually wrote an essay entitled “New School Methodism,” And as a result of this essay was twice tried and convicted of “unchristian and immoral conduct.” After the second conviction, he was expelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Abstract (sommario):

This chapter focuses on the pastoral letter issued by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1836 that urged their clergy and parishioners to refrain from the agitating subject of abolitionism for the sake of denominational fellowship. It looks at how the pastoral letter garnered a mixed reaction among New York Methodists. It also mentions the New York Annual Conference in 1836 that adopted its own resolutions of censure against ministers and church leaders who engaged in antislavery activism or solicited the antislavery newspaper Zion's Watchman. The chapter discusses the excerpt of the 1836 New York Annual Conference resolutions that was printed by Lucius C. Matlack in The History of American Slavery and Methodism, from 1780 to 1849. It emphasizes how Matlack identified the resolutions and other similar motions adopted by other conferences as precipitating factors in the eventual splintering of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

This chapter looks at the prayer and speech given by Bishop Henry McNeal Turner at the New Jersey Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church at Mt. Holly on May 1, 1889. In his speech, Turner challenged the church to improve its evangelizing efforts, calling for an aggressive ministry and the church to inaugurate some plan or policy to make work possibly more aggressive. It also discusses how Turner reminded his audience that they are commanders of their respective armies that must study, plan, maneuver, and advise in every way to beat the devil and bring men to God. The chapter emphasizes how African Methodist ministers must be gentle and courteous with their discussions and use no harsh terms if avoidable. Turner advised his audience to bring all their energy into discussions and believe that the man they are arguing with is a gentleman and a Christian.

Abstract This chapter examines Frances Willard’s role within her own denomination, the Methodist Episcopal Church. As someone who desired to be an ordained minister, the chapter explores Willard’s arguments in support of women’s ordination. It also looks at persons who influenced Willard’s theology outside of Methodism, such as contemporary ministers including Henry Ward Beecher. Willard’s efforts to give women a voice in her church during the 1880s culminated with her election to serve as a lay delegate to the 1888 General Conference. Amid failed efforts in 1880 to approve the ordination of two Methodist women, Anna Oliver and Anna Howard Shaw, Willard also feuded with Rev. James Buckley, a prominent Methodist leader and opponent of women’s ordination.

This chapter covers Bishop Henry McNeal Turner's speech delivered at the New York Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church at Brooklyn, New York on May 27, 1891. In his address before the New York Conference, Turner discussed the bishops' duties and offered insight and wisdom regarding how to handle problems that arose. It talks about Turner's reiteration that bishops should be released from all Episcopal visitation and supplied with secretaries to keep up with the correspondence demanded. The chapter explores Turner's belief that bishops should be voted through the influence that came from patient and protracted prayer and not because of personal considerations. It also mentions Turner's words that the Negro will never be anything in America while Africa is shrouded in heathen darkness.

This chapter looks at the opening address delivered by Bishop Henry McNeal Turner at the Philadelphia Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church at West Chester, Pennsylvania on May 13, 1891. It details how Turner defended his fellow bishops in his speech against the charge that they only celebrated pastors who raised a lot of money. It also discusses Turner's call for a more spiritual church, arguing that it would inspire donor generosity toward the church and its ministers. The chapter highlights Turner's words that the minister who is a mere financier and is no more to be compared to the soul-saving preacher, than earth is to be compared to heaven. For Turner, the church of God is older than money and it will remain when money corrodes and disappears.

This chapter highlights Bishop Henry McNeal Turner's speech delivered at the New Jersey Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church at Asbury Park on April 29, 1891. In his speech, Turner focused his ire on lazy preachers, challenging the ministers under his charge to attend to their responsibilities and avoid becoming apathetic. The chapter explores how Turner described hundreds of ministers, who were no longer looking for places where they could do the most good but were chiefly concerned about what was commonly denominated good appointments. It talks about Turner's consideration of a laggard as a class that neither God nor nature has any sympathy with. Turner emphasized that the church has suffered more at the hands of lazy pastors than all the other complaints aggregated against the ministry.

In Turner's reflective address, he reminded conference attendees of their responsibilities and shared his struggles over the past year, including the death of his wife, Eliza. It also emphasizes the need for African Methodists to have the spirit of Methodism, just like how white people with all their culture and progress needed it. The chapter explores Turner's words on how some people fail to discriminate between man and the system he represents. It points out how prejudice condemns the cause as the real opposition is against the man who is trying to advance it.

Abstract Agonizing conflicts tore apart most mainstream Protestant churches in ante bellum America. Historians of the onset of the Civil War, the remorseless process of alienation between North and South, have rightly treated these ecclesiastical schisms as early, limited expressions of a wider ideological polarization. The breakdown of a church consensus over Christian slave holding-witl1 immediate abolitionists fashioning a scriptural assault on tl1e peculiar institution and with radical Southern religious leaders pushing towards a proslavery millennialism-left religious institutions open to fracture. No case has been more often cited to show the issue’s convulsive power than tl1e experience of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC). At the General Conference of 1844 in New York, a majority of delegates called on Bishop James O. Andrew, recently made a slaveholder by inheritance and remarriage, to stop exercising his episcopal office for as long as he held slaves. That action propelled a sequence of events that brought about tl1e division of what was the largest Protestant denomination in the country. Contemporary political and church leaders alike blamed divergent attitudes toward slavery for the split and reflected on its potentially somber implications for the Union .

The chapter discusses Turner's success in keeping the paper in weekly circulation and not missing a single issue during his term, which was the first instance in the history of any book steward or business manager of the AME Church. It mentions how Turner had succeeded in establishing some character for truth and veracity.
