This review is from: Dark Salvation: The Story of Methodism as It Developed Among Blacks in America (Hardcover)

"When Methodism came from England to America in the 1760's, slavery was a thriving institution in the colonies. Methodists immediately opposed it and sought the conversion of blacks. Many joined. Methodism offered a brotherhood of salvation and a belief in the sacredness of all people."
