However, not all of the Black churches share the same aspirations and strategies as others, with differences reflecting the communities in which the Black Churches reside. In “The Negro Church,” the sociologist E.

Black Churches were extremely importan to African Americans from the years of slavery to this very day. Although attending them was difficult for blacks, they became the core of African American communities. “The biracial churches the Awakening spawned had never embraced African Americans on an equal basis with white people, and as time passed, white people denied black people significant influence in church governance” (pg. 101). Richard Allen and Absalom Jones would lead a movement and gain permission to use a church at evening times to preach to blacks. They would be forced out and need to establish a church of their own. White leaders would try to take over control of Mother Bethel congregation until 1816. This resulted “Mother Bethel becoming the birthplace of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME)” (pg.

While Americans believed that God’s hand was on this new country, it led some to interpret this belief that non-white did have not a place or part in this plan. This led to the War with Mexico and ultimately the American Civil War. For the church, denominations divided on this issue based on their stance on the issue of slavery. An example of this divide is seen in the Southern Baptist Convention, which formed after a slave holding missionary candidate was refused a

Farther North the Reformed churches in the tradition of Calvinism found strong support among those living in Switzerland, the Netherlands and most especially Scotland with even a sizable minority in France as well.

Every week, approximately sixty to seventy devoted followers of Jesus gather in a traditional, white church building nestled by the woods, across from a horse pasture on the edge of the small, mostly blue-collar town of Sparta, Michigan. As they take their seats, those with gray to white hair fill the pews to the left of the aisle, while those whose in their middle age fill the pews to the right, along with a dozen middle and high school students in the back. Baptist Bible Church (BBC) was founded in 2008 and led by a part-time interim pastor until a full-time pastor could be found.

According to historian Roger Wilkins, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference evoked great passion amongst people. Founded in 1957, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference saw to the greatest movement for civil rights in its era. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and others (Cose, 2004).

In chapter 7, David Platt builds the case for the argument that there is no other way to get the gospel out to about ( 4.5 billion people) by missionaries alone. The church itself seeing the urgency in this matter needs to step up and take immediate action. “ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.If Bible believing Christians would take this command seriously and do what God has called them to do, then more people around the world would have intimate and life “ saving and changing” relationships with Jesus Christ.

The Bible states that one day you will own your doctrine. The denomination of one’s faith affects them in their life and eternity. Therefore, Christians need to recognize the importance of sect distinctions. While I am trying to complement each denomination, I am highly in favor of the Southern Baptist denomination and how it holds true to the Word of God and His plan for His children. John 3:16 explains the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. I want to recognize how different or similar the plan of salvation is for each of the three sects. The Bible warns us to be careful about what we believe, which is our doctrine, because we will teach others what we know.

They opened their doors on Sunday and ministers, adorned in their priestly, white robes, marched in to open this great Conference in High Church Methodist fashion.
