Rooted Methodism: Race, Culture and American Methodism
In this new video series from the General Commission on Archives and History, we invite you to take a deep dive into into the story of Methodism in America, focusing on how various topics and groups, including women, race, medicine, education, youth shaped and reshaped the church's life and witness. In the first of the seven-part series, we take a lake a look at how Methodism's story is deeply tied to America's own struggles with race and justice, from the earliest gatherings, like Philip Embury's class meetings in New York City, to 20th century segregation that included the denomination's Central Jurisdiction.
