Richard
Allen, the founder of the AME Church, is very important now because
he will never be forgotten and that he was the first bishop in the
AME Church.
Richard Allen, the man that was born into slavery 241
years ago, not only is an important man to remember, but he’s a
person that made it possible for the black person to have their own
church and became a minister like he did, whether it be a male or a
female.
In
my opinion, we have come a mighty long way, because it is possible
for us as black people to do things that we probably haven’t done
before in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Things such as
have our own pastor, build a new foundation (such as a church), and
even being financially stable. A long time ago, black people
probably could not get what they wanted if it had to do with a
church being built probably because of their skin color. Now we are
just like everybody else. We have everything in the church that we
possibly could need or have. So that’s why, in conclusion I really
do thank the Lord for blessing me to be a part of this great
creation, and for God bringing us this far. As the AME Church goes,
and for the simple fact for me to say that I am very proud of being
who I am and that’s a child of God, an AME, and a member of
Richard Allen’s establishment.
