Trip To Mother Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church

Essay, Research Paper

I thought the field trip to Mother Bethel Methodist Episcopal

Church was a great experience. I enjoyed it a lot, infact, I

am thinking about revisiting the church again. There were a lot

of very interesting things about the church. For example, I did

not know that Mother Bethel Methodist Church had so much history

and significant facts that I needed to know. One fact that I did

not know about is that Mother Bethel is the first African

Methodist Episcopal Church in America. I think that is amazing

considering the fact that back then, blacks were limited to

freedom as well as education.

Another fact that I learned was that Mother Bethel was

the cite for the first national covention of Black people

in the United States organized by Richard Allen. I also

learned Mother Bethel was a station of the Underground

Railroad during the 1800s. I was glad to learn about

these interesting and historic facts because it is an

important part of Black History. Unfortunately, I was

not able to stay after service for a tour of the museum.

That’s why I do attend to go back to Mother Bethel Church

to hear a another great message and learn more interesting

facts and history about Mother Bethel.
