About This Item
[Little Rock?: Privately Printed for the Author, 1940. 20pp. Stitched in original printed front wrapper and plain rear wrapper. Page 2 is illustrated with a portrait of Rev. V.M. Townsend, D.D., LL. D., Presiding Elder Little Rock District, Arkansas Annual Conference, also identified here as "'Uncle Vince,' Member Executive Board Shorter College, Arkansas' Senior Presiding Elder." Very Good.
Townsend says "this little pamphlet" was "the result of a few words to me by Mr. S.M. Ballard who said he was inspired to say to me, 'You are the Senior Presiding Elder of your church in the state, considered sane in your judgment, a safe leader for many years. Strong in your devotion to the A.M.E. Church, Why are you such a strong African Methodist?' I decided then to answer the question in this little pamphlet, and let every one who desires know just why I am an African Methodist."
The pamphlet includes sections focusing on the scriptural foundation and origin of the A.M.E. Church. He proudly writes that God "can make of these women great preachers is we do not put ourselves in God's way." Townsend also explains the Church's stand on baptism, holiness, and "Christ our Head." Pages 19-20 contain a poem from Reverend Townsend with the heading, "The following poem Bespeaks my Sentiments."
OCLC 24269006 [4- U AR, Emory, Duke, SMU] as of April 2024.
