This is a study of the transplantation of a creed devised by and for
African Americans--the African Methodist Episcopal Church--that was
appropriated and transformed in a variety of South African contexts.
Focusing on a transatlantic institution like the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, the book studies the complex human and intellectual
traffic that has bound African American and South African experience.
It explores the development and growth of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church both in South Africa and America, and the interaction
between the two churches. This is a highly innovative work of
comparative and religious history. Its linking of the United States
and African black religious experiences is unique and makes it
appealing to readers interested in religious history and black
experience in both the United States and South Africa.
