Business Title
We are the members of Burks Chapel African Methodist E[episcopal Church
In 1786 Richard Allen and Absalom Jones attended St George's Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia the membership consisted of white and black members, but during a meeting of the white men it was decided that the black members must sit in the balcony. On a Sunday morning in 1786 while worshipers were on their knees in prayer, ushers tapped the black worshipers on the shoulders and demanded they go to the balcony.
They did not, the black members walked out, they formed their own congregation and in 1816 a new denomination was formed know as the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The year of our Lord 2021 brings us to a new age of a connectional church.
