Abstract:
This is a compelling story of an overlooked minority group that has contributed much to America in general and to the African American community in particular. By internalizing the tenets of Methodism given by the great John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, Black Methodists have demonstrated discipline, commitment, and leadership essential for progress. This group has been at the forefront of the freedom movement since slavery as well as the women's movement. Their numerous outreach programs continue to make a difference in the lives of others here and abroad. The author believes that had most African Americans chosen Methodism, they would have made faster and long-lasting progress that would have insured their survival in American society. (Book jacket).
