A community of Methodist Episcopal Negroes organized on 9 to April 11, 1816 in Philadelphia under the leadership of Richard Allen. It is in close accord with the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and autonomous in its government. Seven periodicals are published. Foreign missionary work is carried on in West Africa, including Liberia and Sierra Leone; South Africa, including the Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal, and Cape Town; the West Indies; and Dutch and British Guiana, in South America.
