Wright's A.M.E. Church History

The African Methodist Episcopal Church was born in the year of our Lord in 1787 as the oldest Black denomination in the United States. Blacks and Whites worshiped together in the same meeting house as St. George’s M.E. Church in Philadelphia and in Lovely Lane/Strawberry Alley in Baltimore under Robert Strawberry until 1786-1787. Richard Allen led the people from the gallery of St. George’s Church to a blacksmith’s shop where a Free African Society was formed because the Colored congregation was not permitted full and equal participation in the worship services.
