Yet With a Steady Beat The African American Struggle for Recognition in the Episcopal Church

The Episcopal Church was the first in the American colonies to baptize blacks, to ordain black ministers, and to establish an African American congregation. Yet membership by blacks in the Episcopal Church has always been viewed as an anomaly. Yet With a Steady Beat argues that blacks have remained in the Episcopal Church because they have recognized it as a catholic and therefore inclusive institution.Lewis, Harold T. is the author of 'Yet With a Steady Beat The African American Struggle for Recognition in the Episcopal Church', published 1996 under ISBN 9781563381300 and ISBN 1563381303.
