dc.descriptionThis book reflects three major currents in the African American religious experience. The first pertains to the historic role of black clergy initiatives and programs for black advancement. These normative expectations drive most assessments of the effectiveness of black preachers and parishioners and how well they served their surrounding communities. The second relates to the emancipatory ethos of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church and its tradition and reputation for staunchly defending black people. This study examines the complicated forces that determined whether AME clergy and congregations met with either success or stalemate in achieving liberationist objectives. The third refers to the development of the clergy/politician. While most observers applauded preachers’ activities in innumerable efforts to protect black human and civil rights, others eschewed the presence of men of the cloth in political office. In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, various black leaders believed that ministers who entered the rough-and-tumble of politics disrespected their sacred calling and compromised their independence-
