The Black Religious Experience in the Colonial Period
Mother Bethel AME Church, the oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church in the nation, and The African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, the first African-Episcopal congregation in the nation, join to offer a panel of historical experts to share the dynamic, varied history of Black Philadelphians at the time of the Revolution.
Explore the important contributions of Richard Allen and Absalom Jones, the Free African Society, Prince Hall Freemasonry, and other important religious movements that emerged in the Colonial period.
