An apology for African Methodism

Summary: Part I traces the development of the A.M.E. Church as a reform movement motivated by the conflict between physical slavery and the possibility of spiritual freedom. Part II has biographical sketches of church officials, from the officers and bishops of the General Conference down to the local ministers in each district which include direct quotes taken from autobiographical writings, poetry, sermons, and addresses. A notable section includes sketches of influential women in the A.M.E. Church and a comprehensive history for each of the conferences and districts, including statistical tables with information on church membership and finances, etc.
