Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the issue of slavery and slaveholding within the Methodist Episcopal Church, particularly within the Philadelphia Annual Conference. The author, whose background includes 22 years of association with the church as a boy and as a man and 18 as a travelling preacher, argues that the church has failed to live up to its anti-slavery professions. The book delves into the history of slavery within the church, the treatment of slaves, and the church's response to the issue. The author argues that the church's silence on the issue of slavery and its complicity in the institution have contributed to the perpetuation of slavery in the United States. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between the church and slavery, and provides valuable insights into the history of slavery in the United States.
