An Appeal for Negro Bishops, But No Separation
An Appeal for Negro Bishops, But No Separation, authored by John Wesley Edward Bowen, presents a compelling argument for the inclusion of African American bishops within the Methodist Episcopal Church while firmly opposing racial segregation within the denomination. Bowen, a prominent theologian and advocate for racial equality, articulates a vision of a unified church that acknowledges and empowers its Black members.
This historically significant appeal offers insights into the complex dynamics of race, religion, and power within early 20th-century American society. Bowen's impassioned plea resonates with contemporary discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion within religious institutions, making this work relevant for scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Black church and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.
