Preach my sister PE, watching from the 20th District

Pastor, your sermon was outstanding!! At the cross.

❤❤❤❤

Keep your eyes on the cross! Fantastic sermon, Pastor

The message is awesome and Pastor Knox did a fantastic job. Whoever was doing the recording did a horrible job. The noises that were made were very distracting,

Still unbelievable that Bishop Anne walks with the angels and ancestors 😢 ❤

Powerful, Anointed, prophetic message from heaven by Presiding Elder Jocelyn Hart Lovelace "What then shall we say to these things, If God Be For us Who Can be Against us"! God is still sovereign, in control and He is Still Moving by His Spirit.

Certainly the Spirit of Satan here…to elevate your desires above that of God’s law. If Satan himself came into the church, he would also lobby in the same manner, using secular humanism as a defense. Fools.

Alleluia!! God bless 🙏 the choir ,bless their voices Amen

Praise GOD for the WORD and the PREACHER Bishop Fugh 🙏

Gracias, hermoso video. Una historia muy inspiradora q me acerca a Dios

Hallelujah!

My bishop ,lwish all best.god bless you.

A deeper dive into five areas will add to this understanding. 1) Richard and his family were sold by his original owner to a farmer in Kent County Delaware. Delaware is on the Delmarva Peninsula and that place was a late eighteenth century hotbed of anti-slavery proselytizing. A movement advocating manumission started among Friends in the Third Haven Meeting in Easton, Maryland in 1767. Third Haven was the Yearly meeting meaning it was a leading meeting for Quakers (or Friends) in the State of Maryland. All of the Third Haven Friends who owned slaves, manumitted them. Tis moral reformation spread quickly to all Quaker meetings in Maryland. A Quaker in Kent County, Delaware by the name of Warner Mifflin urged Quakers in that area to manumit slaves. Methodists also acted to end slavery. The leaders of Methodism in America lived in southern Kent County DE during the Revolutionary War. Rev. Freeborn Garretson and Bishop Francis Asbury convinced Richard's owner to let Richard and Richard's brother buy their freedom. Quakers were the leaders in the anti-slavery movement, but Methodists were also active in it. The Methodist faith was growing faster than the Quaker movement so that manumissions by Methodists actually exceeded the Quaker manumissions in number. Black Methodists were welcomed into Methodism. Black Quakers were few in number. When the Methodist Episcopal church (ME) organized as an independent body in 1784 in Baltimore, Richard Allen and two other black Methodists were part of the conference. Thus, the ME began as a multiracial denomination, a very rare flock. When the first U.S. census was taken in 1790, the number of free black residents exceeded the number of slaves in Kent County DE. This was a result of anti-slavery proselytizing by Quakers and Methodists in the county. No other county in the United States with a significant black population is known to have duplicated those demographics. 2) The video mentioned a) a decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 1816 involving the Bethel Church Philadelphia b) a meeting at the Bethel church in 1817 pertaining to the consideration of emigration c) the link between the African Methodist Episcopal church and black American self-determination. These histories are intertwined. Richard Allen hired not one lawyer but an array of lawyers to defend the right of the Trustees of Bethel Church to control all aspects of the church's endeavors. (O.J. Simpson did not hire the original 'dream team.') The court victory was not only important for the Bethel church, but for the fate of all black Americans. The court decision validated the right of blacks at least in Pennsylvania to govern a church, i.e., to govern an institution, without the interference of whites. Bethel church became a place where black Philadelphians could congregate as they saw fit to do so. This was a huge step forward for black Americans, as assembly by black Americans under black American leadership in southern communities, where most black Americans lived, was not permitted. Carol V. R. George wrote an admirable biography of Richard Allen. The biography begins with the story of a victory in court won by Allen in a case set apart from the 1816 case. By starting the book, as she did, George was highlighting Allen's success in court. George also reported how whites in Philadelphia in Allen's time ardently tried but failed to gain ownership of the site where Mother Bethel now stands. The writer of these comments is convinced that what set Richard Allen apart from other black religious leaders and other leaders in general was not his religious fervor or oratory, but his ability to win in court and his creation of organizational papers, such as by laws and the like. It will never be proven, but this writer is convinced that Allen's success in and proficiency with matters of a legal nature is somehow linked to the fact that Allen's first enslaver served as head of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and was therefore a legal scholar at the highest level. (This was before the U.S. Supreme Court was established.) Having won in court, Bethel church became a place, no, the place where black Philadelphians could congregate without limitations, so that when the need arose for citizens to meet to discuss emigration, Bethel church was the place where that discussion could take place. The protagonist for the January 1817 meeting was James Forten, but Richard Allen was present. Those assembled voted to reject the American Colonization Society's plan to transport free black Americans to West Africa. That meeting set in place the direction of black American self-determination. 3) Beyond creating a place for preeminently important meetings, the 1816 court decision led to the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination (A.M.E.) in 1816. Since the court validated Bethel's stature, other black Methodist congregations sought to tie their fates and statures to that of Bethel Philadelphia. And so, discussions began quickly, and the denomination was established. 4) In September of 1830 a convention assembled at Mother Bethel under the leadership of Richard Allen. It was a secular not a religious event. Black American leaders came from several states (there were only 24 states at the time). Black residents in Cincinnati were attacked in a so-called riot in 1829; some were killed. In August of 1830 the A.M.E. held its fourth conference in Hillsboro, Ohio (near Cincinnati) in part to determine the needs of the victims. [Byron Woodson, A President in the Family, (Westport, CT, Praeger, 2001), 112]. The needs of the victims were also discussed in the September 1830 meeting in Philadelphia. Some displaced people returned to Cincinnati, while others settled in Canada with assistance. The 1830 meeting at Mother Bethel was the first of the 'Negro conventions.' The meeting was foundational. 5) In 1935 Charles H. Wesley Ph.D. wrote the first biography of Richard Allen. Wesley was a preeminent historian, graduate of Fisk, Yale and Harvard. He served as President of Wilberforce University and later Central State College. He served as the head of Alpha Phi Alpha. Wesley acclaimed Allen as "the pre-eminent leader and organizer on the Negro population in the dawn of the nineteenth century." [Charles H. Wesley, Richard Allen, Apostle of Freedom, (Washington, D.C., The Associated Publishers, Inc.,1935), 1]. Regrettably this acclamation is overlooked and buried by the idea that a through line of black American self-determination does not reach back to the dawn of the nineteenth century. If the origins of black American leadership and self-determination would ever be rightfully appreciated, then Richard Allen would be the most revered black American leader in history. Applying a more current lexicon to Dr. Wesley's acclamation, Richard Allen was 'the father of the black American ethnicity.' The video is delightful and informative. The producers, narrators, and funders of the video not only shined a bright light on Bishop Richard Allen, but upon themselves, as well, deservingly.
