Summary
[edit]DescriptionReedy Chapel A. M. E. Church, Galveston, Texas.jpg |
English: Trustees of the Methodist Church purchased this lot in 1848 as a worship site for Black slaves. Meetings were held outdoors until a building was erected in 1863. At the end of the Civil War (1865), ownership of the property was transferred to the recently-freed Blacks, who organized the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Texas. It was later named in honor of the Rev. Houston Reedy of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who served as the first pastor. The church survived several natural disasters, beginning in 1875, when the sanctuary was damaged in a storm. It was destroyed in 1885 by a fire that burned a large area of the city. Finished in 1887, the present structure was restored after the destructive hurricane of 1900 and repaired again in 1947 and 1957. The African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church is a predominantly African-American Methodist denomination. It was among the first denominations in the United States to be founded on racial rather than theological distinctions |
