The doctrine & discipline of the African Union First Colored Methodist Protestant Church of the United States of America or elsewhere [electronic resource].

Summary:

The Doctrine and Discipline of the African Union First Colored Methodist Protestant Church (1871) begins with a short history of the African Union Church and a defense of written discipline as the best safeguard of "Christian liberty." It provides a detailed doctrinal statement for the church, including theological positions, the relation of the church to the national government, the prescribed behaviors of members, questions for new members, and an extended catechism. The Discipline sets out guidelines for all elements of church life, including specifics for membership, conferences, the use of money, trials, and public worship. It ends with specific orders of service, and includes forms of the various credentials and licenses for preachers, deacons and other elected officials.
