What is the difference between African Methodist Episcopal and Christian Methodist Episcopal Churches?
Both the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME) are two predominantly black Christian denominations within the Wesleyan / Methodist family of churches, both of which share similar theological beliefs as the rest. The primary difference between the two denominations is how they came to exist as separate Christian denominations. The AME was originally a single congregation of black Methodists who originally attended services of the white-dominated St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, PA. This single congregation was known as Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church with Rev. Richard Allen as their pastor. It took lawsuits against St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church in order for them to gain recognition as a completely independent congregation with all the rights and previleges associated with self-governance, including the ability to choose their own ministers and bishops and ownership of church property. Several other black Methodists from the Mid-Atlantic states met with Rev. Richard Allen in Philadelphia and resolved in 1816 to establish the African Methodist Episcopal Church as the first black Christian denomination. The AME remained primarily a northern states church until after the end of the Civil War opened up the opportunity for rapid expansion throughout the former slave states of the South. The CME was originally established as the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in 1870. They were established in response to the rapid departure of southern black Methodists from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (later known as United Methodist Church) in favor of the AME Church and the AME Zion Church (which also separated from the northern MEC and was officially established in 1821). The CME was established with the full support and assistance of the white-dominated Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Several difficulties experienced was associated with the appearance of being a subordinate church to the MEC, South although technically they were completely autonomous from each other. They were seen as an attempt by the white-dominated MEC, South to keep black Methodists from joining northern-based Methodist churches that many felt truly championed freedom for blacks. In recent years, there had been negotiations over the possible merger of CME Church with AME Zion Church; however, such a merger has not taken place. This denomination adopted Christian Methodist Episcopal Church as its official church name in 1954.
