This book traces the remarkable history and governance of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first independent black denomination in the United States, from its humble beginnings in 1816 to its present-day status as a thriving and influential religious institution.

Drawing from primary sources, the book sheds light on the key figures, events, and controversies that shaped the development of the A.M.E. Church, exploring themes of racial equality, social justice, and the quest for religious freedom. Through its detailed examination of the church's unique governance structure, the book offers valuable insights into the interplay between ecclesiastical authority, democratic principles, and the evolving role of the laity.
