Methodism in Black and White

Rev. Patti Walz offers a presentation entitled, “Methodism in Black and White.” Included are photos of Philadelphia’s Historic St. George’s United Methodist Church and Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, and an overview of the difficult history of union and division. The photo below was taken from St George’s balcony that was built with a segregated section for its Black members. Those members left the church, went down the street, and eventually developed the AME church.
