The African Methodist Episcopal Church, the United Statesâ oldest historically Black denomination, launched its General Conference on Tuesday with delegates expected to address racial issues such as voting rights and the Black Lives Matter movement.
âOur church claims to have the issue of justice in its DNA,â Senior Bishop Adam J. Richardson Jr said. âIt will come up in sermons, it will come up in reports.â
The coronavirus pandemic forced a one-year delay in the five-day legislative gathering. And a planned simultaneous gathering in Cape Town for church representatives from several African countries had to be canceled after South Africa barred large gatherings due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
