| 520 | |a "This book provides a detailed exploration of two intertwined religious traditions, the Christian denomination (or Connection) and the Afro-Christian churches. The Christian denomination arose shortly after the American Revolution, '...a new kind of church based on democratic principles, and a new form of Biblical authority calling for common people to interpret the New Testament for themselves.' (Nathan O. Hatch, The Democratization of American Christianity.) The Afro-Christian churches grew up in the hush harbors of the south, experiencing a Christianity through the spirit and depth of their African roots. ... Christian churches had women preachers as evangelists by 1819, hosted a Convention led by Frederick Douglass in 1839, appointed Horace Mann as President of their Antioch College in 1852, and took steps towards gender inclusive language in 1869. Included here are details on the locations and life spans of nearly 7,000 churches, over 240 local conferences, four maps, and a short history. The 'historical directory' format is used here because many of the primary Christian resources have been scattered. This design includes details on periodicals, annuals, national conventions, and conference records indicating where the resources have been found. In addition to the United States, the book also reviews many churches in Canada, and related mission work in Japan, Puerto Rico, Guyana, and other Caribbean and African outreach. It includes an extensive bibliography, and indexes to the history and church locations."--Publisher. | ||
| 520 | |a "The Christian movement has been commonly considered to be one of the four historic 'streams' of the United Church of Christ. The United Church was created in 1957 as a union of two earlier unions: the Congregationalists and the Christians in 1931, and Reformed Church in the United States and the Evangelical Synod of North America in 1934. More recently Church leaders have recognized the Afro-Christian churches as a fifth stream in the Church. ... Unlike the other four streams that developed from European traditions or were originally led by people of European extraction, the Afro-Christian movement developed its own spiritual life and worship traditions from its African roots and ancestry. Its many years of autonomous and self-developed leadership has brought a unique and incredibly powerful presence to the United Church of Christ. However, the histories of both streams are intertwined."--Introduction, page ii. | ||
