The African Methodist Episcopal (A. M. E.) Church is 215 years old. The African Methodist Episcopal Church was born at a time not wholly unlike this day of our travail. The great urge and passion were theological and social; redemptive more than doctrinal. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, has, for over two-hundred years, challenged and fought the enemies of justice, freedom, and for all people. It has affirmed and defended primarily, of course, the rights of the Black and oppressed people to who it gave identity and opportunity, but its scope of concern and action was and is as limitless as the Christian religion, hence its motto: “God our Father, Christ our Redeemer, Humankind one Family”.
