The Doctrines and Discipline of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church Revised Edition 1918

This volume gathers the core beliefs, governance rules, and worship practices of a historic African‑American Methodist denomination, presented in a clear, organized format. The revised 1918 edition smooths out early printing errors and arranges the material into fifty‑eight chapters across nine thematic parts, making it easy to locate specific articles of faith, church discipline, and ritual instructions. An introductory note explains the indexing system and highlights bolded passages that signal especially important points for study.

Designed for everyday use, the text invites members to read, mark, and internalize the doctrines alongside the broader Methodist tradition. It recounts the church’s evolution from its roots in the broader Methodist movement through the pivotal 1870 General Conference that established a distinct connection. By blending historical narrative with practical guidance, the book serves both as a reference for clergy and a devotional resource for congregants seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith community.
