African Methodist Episcopal Church (Wikipedia)

This is Wikipedia's community-edited article on the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the oldest independent Black Christian denominations in the United States. Its value is accessibility and continuous updating by many contributors, useful for standard, uncontroversial facts such as founding dates, structure and historical milestones that are easy to check against other sources. Its limit is the one that applies to any crowd-edited reference, it carries no formal peer review and its quality varies by section and by how recently a given passage was revised, so a specific or contested historical claim about the denomination should be checked against a dedicated scholarly history of the AME Church rather than relied on from this article alone.
