- This seems to be primarily a history of the AME Church. While you included a few Baptists, you missed the major streams. Noticeably absent were the Holiness-Pentecostal traditions as well. The role of Charles H. Mason and COGIC and the spread of Pentecostalism throughout the world. There is also the role of William Edward Fuller, Sr. in the transition of the Fire Baptized Holiness Association into the Fire Baptized Holiness Church in 1898, which split along racial lines in 1908. The African-American branch was called The Colored Fire Baptized Holiness Church. There are also other branches such as The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World and Progressive Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some may say that Father Divine and Daddy Grace were on the fringe , but their movements played a role in the socio-religious fabric of the Africam-American community. Thanks for what you have provided.
