The Origin of the A.M.E. Zion Church The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church began in New York City in 1796. Just as, several decades earlier, John Wesley founded the Methodist Church in England in an attempt to remake the Church of England from within, the A.M.E. Zion Church grew out of a spirit of reform. Despite Wesley’s deep opposition to slavery and his championing of poor and mistreated people, both white and black, not all of his followers remained true to his ideals. Although black people had been accepted as worshippers in the Methodist tradition since it was first brought to America by Wesley and his brother Charles in the 1730s, black Methodists were often poorly treated by their white brethren. The church, by then known as the Methodist Episcopal Church, granted preaching licenses to a few black men, but they were rarely allowed to preach, even to other black members of the church. Preaching to white Methodists was out of the question. These black preachers were not allowed to join the Methodist Conference, the church’s decision-making body. In many Methodist churches, black worshippers were segregated from white members and were forced to sit in the church gallery rather than in the main area of worship.

Pete www.revempete.org Three African-American Methodist Churches were formed before the Civil War. They were African Methodist Episcopal Church, African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and Union American Methodist Episcopal Church. All three churches were formed within the first twenty-one years after the formation of Methodist Episcopal Church. They were also formed within the forty-five years preceding 1832 when the “crusade” for Christian Perfection in the Methodist Episcopal Church began African Methodist Episcopal Church was the first African-American Methodist Church formed in the United States. It was organized in 1787, after an episode of racial discrimination at St. George Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “In keeping with William Penn’s tradition of religious and racial toleration ”, African-Americans were allowed to worship at St. George Methodist Church. However, African-American “services were held separately at five in the morning”.

From slavery to bishop, James Varick Home What Happened on Your Birthday? Search the Registry by Category ... Contact January 10 James Varick The birth of James Varick in 1750 is celebrated on this date. He was the first African Methodist Episcopal Zion Bishop. Born to a slave mother in Newburgh, New York, she was a slave of the Varicks or Van Varcks. She was later freed. His father, Richard, was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, where he was baptized in the Dutch Church. The family lived in New York City while James Varick was young. He acquired an elementary education in New York schools. By trade Varick was a shoemaker. Later he also worked as a tobacco cutter. Since the church with which he was associated did not pay its preachers for many years, he worked at his trades to support himself and his family. About 1790 he married Aurelia Jones. The couple had four sons and three daughters. The important events in Varick's life were associated with his religious avocation. Varick joined the John Street Methodist Church in New York City at an early date, possibly in 1766 the year after the church held its first meeting. Varick seems to have been licensed to preach by this group although he does not appear among the licensed preachers of the early Zion church as given by Christopher Rush, the second supervisor or bishop, in his 1844 history of the denomination. As early as 1780 black members of the John Street Church were holding separate class and prayer meetings. In 1796 Varick was among those black leaders who established separate meetings on a firmer footing.

Life in the 1880's The African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal, Zion and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Churches in Indiana Sheryl D. Vanderstel The first of the three main black Methodist denominations began in Philadelphia with Rev. Richard Allen. Born into slavery and converted to Methodism at the age of 17, Allen almost immediately knew he was called to preach. His owner allowed Richard and his brother to join a Methodist class meeting, led by Delaware farmer John Gray. Allen's owner was so taken by Allen's sincerity that he next allowed interracial religious gathering on his property. Finally, converted to Methodism himself, Allen's owner arranged for the Allen brother to buy their freedom. When Allen won his legal victory he issued an invitation to other black ME congregations to assemble in convention. There were sixteen representatives at the convention in Philadelphia, representing churches in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, which joined together to form the African Methodist Episcopal Church in April 1816. They immediately elected Richard Allen as their first bishop. The group determined to adhere to traditional Methodism and adopted a Discipline almost identical to the ME Discipline. The Methodist church had a system of licensed elders, deacons, lay ministers and exhorters to assist in the local church work. This system was adopted not only by the AME but also later by the AME Zion and CME denominations. The bishop headed the church body, which was divided into conferences; each led by a bishop. Each conference then was subdivided into districts. Within a district there could be several circuits. A presiding elder directed the work of the conference. Ordained deacons were the senior circuit riders or local congregational ministers.

Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church Photographs from National Register collection Mount Zion Cemetery, adjacent to the church, contains more than 200 graves. While most of these graves are unmarked, the oldest marker is from 1861. Photograph from National Register collection By the end of the Revolutionary War, many Quakers and anti-slavery sympathizers had set aside land for freed slaves. African-American hamlets were established in secluded areas on portions of Quaker land throughout western New Jersey. Small Gloucester, also known as Dutchtown, emerged in the early 19th century as one of these African-American settlements. One well-known Underground Railroad route was the Greenwich Line that began in the hamlet of Springtown , led 25 miles north to Small Gloucester, and continued north to Mount Holly, Burlington and Jersey City, New Jersey. The communities along this route were ideal stations on the Underground Railroad as they were situated about 20 miles apart, surrounded by Quaker land which was often swampy or dense woods, and inhabited by many free African-Americans. For more than 10 years, Harriet Tubman helped operate this line.

89. Five Views: A History Of Black Americans In California Through its seminaries and church schools, the african methodist episcopal, the methodist episcopal zion, and the American Baptist churches developed a cadre http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/5views/5views2h13.htm

A.M.E. Church Education Industry Farming ... Selected References A History of Black Americans in California: HISTORIC SITES Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church Site Sacramento, Sacramento County The County of Sacramento now owns the lot in Sacramento on which the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church stood. This site represents the location of the first organized political activity by Blacks in California. Historically, the Black church has played a critical role as both sectarian and secular institution. While serving as a place of worship, the church was also a principal vehicle for political activity. Through its seminaries and church schools, the African Methodist Episcopal, the Methodist Episcopal Zion, and the American Baptist churches developed a cadre of educated and trained leaders even before the end of slavery. California benefited from this tradition of leadership which began in the eastern United States. Numbered among the earliest Black settlers were outspoken clergymen who actively organized and supported educational and political efforts to improve the status of their people. California's first Black church was organized the year the state was admitted to the Union in 1850. Not only did California have the distinction of having the first African Methodist Episcopal church in the western United States, but the state also hosted the first Black church. Organized in the Sacramento home of Daniel Blue, the first Black church was named the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1851, after a special vote of the congregation and a petition to the Indiana Conference for admission into the African Methodist Episcopal, the name was changed to the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Later in the nineteenth century, the name was changed to the St. Andrews African Methodist Episcopal Church.

90. Absalom Jones The african methodist episcopal Church zion (Ame zion) formed in New York in about 1796 for similar reasons. The two groups were http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/98.html

In 1786 the membership of St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia included both blacks and whites. However, the white members met that year and decided that thereafter black members should sit only in the balcony. Two black Sunday worshippers, Absalom Jones (1746-1818) and Richard Allen (1760-1831), whose enthusiasm for the Methodist Church had brought many blacks into the congregation, learned of the decision only when, on the following Sunday, ushers tapped them on the shoulder during the opening prayers, and demanded that they move to the balcony without waiting for the end of the prayer. They walked out, followed by the other black members. Absalom Jones conferred with William White , Episcopal Bishop of Philadelphia, who agreed to accept the group as an Episcopal parish. Jones would serve as lay reader, and, after a period of study, would be ordained and serve as rector. Allen wanted the group to remain Methodist, and in 1793 he left to form a Methodist congregation. In 1816 he left the Methodists to form a new denomination, the African Methodist Episcopal Church (Ame). Jones (ordained deacon and priest in 1795 and 1802) and Allen (ordained deacon and elder in 1799 and 1816) were the first two black Americans to receive formal ordination in any denomination. The African Methodist Episcopal Church Zion (Ame Zion) formed in New York in about 1796 for similar reasons. The two groups were well organized before they heard of each other. The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, also historically black, was an offshoot in 1870 of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. (The Methodists split into North and South before the War of 1861-1865, and have since re-united.) These three black groups, and the United Methodist Church, and some other denominations of Methodist origin, are committed in principle to eventual union, but bureaucracies move slowly. Meanwhile, the groups are united in doctrine, and members of each are free to worship and to receive the Sacraments with members of the others.
