WHY ARE WE CALLED
THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH?
African-
Because we were founded and formed by people
of African
descent-- though this does NOT
exclude any person of color or ethnicity,
because we are all descended
from African Soil.
Methodist-
Because Richard Allen believed that Methodism was best
suited to his people and the original founders
were strong believer's in the
teachings and doctrines
set fourth by John Wesley, the founder of
Methodism. The A.M.E. church even adapted
the Methodist Articles of
Religion into our own
25 Articles of Religion.
Episcopal-
Because we use an Episcopal form of Government...
the use
of Bishops and Presiding Elders and
such.
What do we Preach?
The Bible...nothing more and
nothing less.
As African Methodist we are a proud people...
but
we are first and foremost children of
God, washed in the blood of the lamb.
The Rt. Rev. John R. Bryant, Bishop
Rev. Lishers Mahone, Jr Pastor
