THE AME CHURCH: Founded, 1787; Organized, 1816

The AME Church is the oldest predominantly Afro-American denomination in the Western World. It was founded in 1787 in Philadelphia by Richard Allen and others when they walked out of St. George's Methodist Church to protest unfair segregation and discriminatory practices. Today, the AME Church has more than 5 million members worldwide in the U. S., Canada, England, the West Indian/Caribbean Islands, South America, and in 27 countries throughout the African continent.
