Abstract:

In 1868 Ulysses S. Grant remarked that there were three great parties in the United States: the Republican, the Democratic, and the Methodist Church. This was an understandable tribute, given the active role of leading Methodists in his presidential campaign, but it was also a realistic judgment, when set in the context of the denomination's growing political authority over the previous half century. As early as 1819, when, with a quarter of a million members, “the Methodists were becoming quite numerous in the country,” the young exhorter Alfred Branson noted that “politicians… from policy fa

Abstract:

The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, a black Church founded in the United States in 1816, was first established in eastern Haiti when over 6,000 black freemen emigrated from the United States to Hispaniola between 1824 and 1825. Almost a century later, the AME Church grew rapidly in the Dominican Republic as West Indians migrated to the Dominican southeast to work on sugar plantations. This article examines the links between African-American immigrant descendants, West Indians, and U.S.-based AME leaders between the years 1899–1916. In focusing on Afro-diasporic exchange in the Church

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to offer new perspectives on the role of women in African-American Christian denominations in the United States in the period between the Civil War and the turn of the twentieth century. It situates the changes in the roles available to black women in their churches in the context of ecclesiastical politics. By offering explanations of the growth of black denominations in the South after the Civil War and the political alignments in the leadership of the churches, it seeks to offer more powerful explanations of differences in the treatment of women in distict denominations.

Abstract:

Scholars have evaluated the causes of clergy political preferences and behavior for decades. As with party ID in the study of mass behavior, personal ideological preferences have been the relevant clergy literature's dominant behavioral predictor. Yet to the extent that clergy operate in bounded and specialized institutions, it is possible that much of the clergy political puzzle can be more effectively solved by recognizing these elites as institutionally-situated actors, with their preferences and behaviors influenced by the institutional groups with which they interact. I argue that institu

Abstract:

This thesis examines the controversy surrounding the doctrine of atonement among transatlantic Methodist during the Victorian and Progressive Eras. Beginning in the eighteenth century, it establishes the dominant theories of the atonement present among English and American Methodists and the cultural-philosophical worldview Methodists used to support these theories. It then explores the extent to which ordinary and influential Methodists throughout the nineteenth century carried forward traditional opinions on the doctrine before examining in closer detail the controversies surrounding the doc

Abstract:

Chapter 1 covers the early decades of Methodism in the United States, specifically with regard to Black churchgoers. John Wesley’s strong antislavery stance was part of the heritage of Methodism, but the movement’s success in the United States propelled the Church toward a series of compromises that accommodated slavery and slaveholders. As the denomination succumbed to racial caste, many Black Methodists broke away to form the African Methodist Episcopal and African Methodist Episcopal Zion Churches. Many Methodist leaders also embrace the colonization movement, which represented another accommodation to slavery and caste, and Black Methodists played an important role in the colony of Liberia. While southern Church leaders emphasized their commitment to Christianizing slaves, abolitionists fought to make their voices heard within the Church. Those tensions finally led to a schism over slavery in 1844 and the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Abstract:

The chapter compares the response of the Catholic Church in the South to desegregation with that of the region’s larger white denominations: the Southern Baptist Convention, the Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church in the United States, the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. It also makes comparisons with Catholics outside the South and with southern Jews, a minority, like Catholics, subject to suspicion and even hostility from the Protestant majority, and with the Northern (later American) Baptist Convention and the Disciples of Christ, both of which had a substantial African American membership. The comparison suggests that white lay sensibilities, more than polity or theology, influenced the implementation of desegregation in the South by the major white religious bodies. Like the major white Protestant denominations, Catholic prelates and clergy took a more progressive approach to desegregation in the peripheral than the Deep South.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter continues Frances Willard’s story into her late teens, as she moved to the town that became her permanent home: Evanston, Illinois. Pursuing her education at North-Western Female College, Willard wrestled with questions pertaining to her future and her Christian faith. The chapter spotlights how Willard was drawn into the theological rhythms of mid-nineteenth-century Methodism, particularly coming from the United States’ largest Protestant denomination, the Methodist Episcopal Church. Influenced by prominent church leaders Phoebe Palmer and Matthew Simpson, Willard somewhat reluctantly embraced Christianity by her early twenties. Even as she made the decision to become a Christian, Willard remained captivated by an array of intellectual sources, including the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 narrates the history of religious healers from the time of the ancients through developments in Asia and the Greco-Roman world and in the early church. The chapter also describes the origins of hospitals as religiously sponsored institutions of care for the sick. These institutions emerged globally, across faith traditions—in the pagan world, in Christianity, in Islam, in the global East—and they remain today largely an expression of religious outreach. This can be observed in the United States, for example, in the countless religiously branded hospitals, medical centers, and healthcare facilities in most communities that go by names such as Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Adventist, Episcopal, Jewish, and so on.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the expansionist goals and actions of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, the first independent black Protestant denomination in the United States, after the American Civil War (1861–1865). Aiming to convert newly freed slaves, AME leaders sent missionaries to the U.S. South, which enabled the denomination to grow throughout the late 1860s and 1870s. This expansion turned leaders’ attention toward the foreign missionary field. While scholars have studied the AME Church’s missions in Africa, this chapter analyzes the impetuses and development of the denomination’s missions on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. AME expansionist discourse during Reconstruction aligned with U.S. imperialist action in the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic, and obfuscated other impetuses for AME missionary work on Hispaniola, namely earlier nineteenth-century Afro-diasporic connections forged through emigration and cooperation between African Americans and Haitians.

Abstract:

This chapter’s central claim is that the notion of freedom, in the context of theology, music, and modernity (1740–1850), is incomplete if it does not address the sacred music of the enslaved people of North America during this period—a population for whom theology, music, and freedom were of enormous personal and social consequence. The central figure in this regard is Richard Allen (1760–1831), who in 1816 founded the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, the first independent black religious denomination in the United States. Allen was born enslaved, in Philadelphia or Delaware, but was able to purchase his freedom in 1783. He had already had a conversion experience in 1777, and once he gained his freedom, he became an itinerant preacher, ultimately settling in Philadelphia, where he preached at St George’s Methodist Church and a variety of venues in the city. In 1794 he led a walkout of black members at St George’s, in protest of racism; and over the course of a number of years he founded Mother Bethel, which would become the original church of the AME. This chapter situates Allen in the development of black sacred music in the US: first, as the publisher of hymnals for his church (two in 1801, and another in 1818); and second, as an important arbitrator between the traditions and performance styles of Protestant hymnody as inherited in the British colonies, and an evolving oral tradition and performance style of black sacred music.

Abstract:

This chapter revisits the author’s 2009 study on the relationship between denominational, theological, and organizational indicators and ecumenism between Black and White churches in the United States. Findings then suggested that denominational and organizational indicators were consistently important in explaining ecumenism. Black churches associated with the Presbyterian, United Methodist, and African Methodist Episcopal Zion traditions were more likely than Baptists to engage in ecumenism. Black congregations which had larger memberships, were in rural areas, were frequently exposed to sermons about racial issues, and which were led by formally educated pastors were more ecumenically involved. Over ten years later, does similar cross-racial engagement occur? What factors precipitate ecumenism and/or undermine it? Informed by Receptive Ecumenism, this chapter identifies opportunities and obstacles across both Black and White churches that influence ecumenism, examples of racial reconciliation, and the implications of increased racial challenges, disparities, and unchecked historic wounds nationally. A mixed-methodological, multi-disciplinary approach, referencing current scholarship and mainstream reports, is used to update the original study in light of contemporary US race relations.
