概要

“Why can’t we have our own church?” That question stood at the heart of a painful and defining moment in American church history. Reverend Richard Allen and other African American worshippers at St. George’s Methodist Church in Philadelphia were forced to confront discrimination when they were manhandled and ordered to sit in a newly established segregated section during worship. Rather than accept humiliation, they walked out.

From that courageous decision grew a movement that would shape generations. Richard Allen would go on to help found what became the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, creating a place where Black believers could worship freely, lead boldly, and serve God without discrimination.

Today, many of us worship in churches built on the sacrifices of those who refused to accept injustice. This episode explores the faith, courage, and leadership of Bishop Richard Allen — and challenges us not to take for granted the spiritual freedoms we now enjoy.

Listen, learn, share, and subscribe as we reflect on the legacy of a man whose faith helped build the Black Church.
