Description
An introduction to the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, directed towards "the neophyte ministry and laity of our church". Turner's book asks and then answers 1115 basic questions about church ideology, organization, administration, and history. He concludes the guide to the A.M.E. Church by providing the general rules and constitution of the church, as well as several blank versions of frequently used forms.
