African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church

For this assignment, I was tasked with researching and discussing the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AMEZC). Being raised attending and participating in church, and later becoming a Minister in the African Methodist Episcopal denomination, I found it interesting to research the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AMEZC). I was interested in seeing the differences. In this paper, I will share the researched information regarding its founding, polity, dates, places, etc. I will also

When people think of Central Park, the thought of African-Americans once owning the land is inconceivable. Yet, this was the case 150 years ago when there once thrived a place called Seneca Village. The land known as Seneca Village was originally farmland owned by John and Elizabeth Whitehead. Andrew Williams, an African-American male, bought three lots of land from the Whiteheads in 1825. In addition, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church purchased six lots of land, which began the birth

A Sermon on Judges 19:1-30 I am a preacher from the Methodist Religion. I enjoy the organization of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church service, in which we follow an order to the way it is conducted. I love that we go through this whole Order of Worship every Sunday morning. The most interesting concept to me is how we are introduced to the Bible and see the books within the Bible intertwine themselves together within the year. An example is how Paul founded Churches, and speaking to

Along Orange Street, one of the three black neighborhoods is located between Fayette Street and Morris Street, known as Branch Creek. African Americans moved in the Locust Street Neighborhood at the same time when Shippensburg’s black population increased after the Civil War.

Black Lives Matter movement is a community in America that has represented itself after all of the many innocent African American lives that have taken by law enforcement and the Caucasian male who went into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and opened fire on the members of the church. The Black Lives Matter movement has become a worldwide movement for those of the African American culture.

the course of three centuries, the United States saw a period of mass importation of African slaves, a time in history which caused great human suffering, the effects of which are still felt today. Ironically, this was also a time where Africans-Americans contributed greatly to the culture of their new lands, as the foundations of spirituals were laid. During the period from 1500 to 1850, twelve million African slaves were imported into the Western Hemisphere, with the arrival of the first Black

Jarena Lee was born a free African American woman on February 11, 1783 in Cape May, New Jersey. From birth to seven years old, little was known about her childhood, but what was known about her childhood was that when Jarena was seven years old, she went off to work as a servant maid because her family was very poor like most African American families living during this time period.

While in the bookstore I felt welcomed and cared for. That visit prompted me to attend the upcoming worship service. Upon arrival, I felt a connection to the environment and people.

positive things about the African American race, however that information was never released. These ideas and experiments continued to spread, though many fired back with the ideas of God. The book continuously recognizes the fact that racism isn’t something that can be stopped by a campaign or a passed law- it is only something that can be stopped by each person individually- especially one who has the Holy Spirit alive within them. After viewing how the African Americans were treated, the
