Black Church Power Pushes for Greater Voice Across Denominations
The American Baptist Convention and other denominations see rising black leadership, with Rev A C Williams of Glide Memorial among leaders demanding more ecclesiastical power. Cornell notes gains in six major Negro denominations totaling about 11 million members with 1.6 million in white churches. Merger talks among United Methodist related bodies and a proposed $20 million fund for Black clergy advance the shift toward wider black representation in church governance.
