A short account of the rise and progress of the African M.E. Church in America / written by Christopher Rush with the aid of George Collins ; also, a concise view of church order of government, from Scripture, and from some of the best authors on the subject of church government, relative to episcopacy.
Traces the history of the establishment of the Zion Church from its emergence in 1796 New York City. Discussing the emergence of the "Allenites," the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in New York, Rush explains the relationship between the two black church movements. Drawing upon church reports and addresses, Rush gives details of the Church's founders, the establishment of a hierarchy, names of church deacons and elders. It also includes the articles of agreement between the General Conference of Methodist Episcopals and the A.M.E. Zion Church and the 1820 articles of agreement between the Asbury and Zion Churches, as well as the listing of the number and locations of A.M.E.Z. Churches in existence in 1820.
