An Appeal For Negro Bishops, But No Separation (1912)

An Appeal For Negro Bishops, But No Separation is a book written by John Wesley Edward Bowen and published in 1912. The book is a call for the inclusion of African American bishops in the Episcopal Church, while rejecting the idea of a separate church for black people. Bowen argues that black people should not be excluded from leadership roles in the church, and that the Episcopal Church should work towards greater racial equality. He also emphasizes the importance of unity within the church, and warns against the dangers of creating a separate church based on race. The book provides historical context for the issue, including the role of slavery and the Civil War in shaping the church's views on race. Overall, An Appeal For Negro Bishops, But No Separation is a powerful argument for racial justice and equality within the Episcopal Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
