With the knowledge that the initial purpose of the Methodist Church in England and America was not to establish a separate church, with the bringing to light the fact that the early works of both Philip Embury and Thomas Webb showed deep sympathy towards those who no doubt were not welcomed in the established churches, one can be led to believe that not only did the Methodist Church allow Negroes to attend their meetings but they welcomed them
Perhaps this work among the unfortunates of New York, both white and colored, allowed the movement the respite it needed to get underway before the storm. There are no records available of what the Negro actually did or thought to the spiritual things of life.
It appears that one of the reasons for the rapid growth of the Negroes" interest in Christianity stemmed from this revolutionary idea of individual privilege in determining destiny. One can run across the statement in his reading from time to time that Negroes were used as slaves because of their ability to endure slavery and a friend once declared that this ability is one of the chief reasons why the Negro race should be considered great. Other than the accounts of the Jewish people, no other group has had the power and fortitude to bear up under slavery. However, there was another reason why the Negro became the pawn in the then known Catholic world. Only non-Christians could be enslaved and so the attention of Portuguese and Dutch and English merchantmen were turned to the Africans.
In so many ways it appears that the Negro has never appreciated the bitter struggles, which have gone on in his defense. It is true that he suffered and this suffering is borne out in his spirituals, but the world has never been without its courageous leadership and even when the massive weight of evidence seemed to be able to turn any tide, voices were raised and men suffered much to be Chirstian. There is a little book printed in 1680 by a man whose name was Godwyn, The Negroes Advocate.
