Summary

Description
English: Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church Historic Plaque, 6th and Lombard Sts. Philadelphia PA: Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, founded on this site 1787 by Richard Allen (a former slave). This ground, purchased by Richard Allen for a church, is the oldest parcel of real estate owned continuously by Negroes in the United States. This congregation is the world's oldest African Methodist Episcopal Church congregation. The first church (1787) was an abandoned blacksmith shop, hauled to this place by the teams of Richard Allen who was elected a bishop in 1816. "We all went out of the church (old St. George's Methodist Church) in a body" and "they were no more plagued with us in their church." - Richard Allen. May our God continue to bless Mother Bethel and all her children, now scattered throughout the world, bringing faith and hope to millions of weary souls. Ring the bells of freedom throughout the world. "Rise, shine, give God the Glory for the year of jubilee." October 1961
