SPECIAL ANTHOLOGY PROJECT

The Lamp Oil of Black Women and African Methodism 

Metropolitan AME (D.C.)

An anthology curating the voice and spirit of Black women and girls living, embodying, practicing and preaching the principles and power of African Methodism, to be a document of historic and prophetic value that will inspire, comfort and edify this generation and the generations to come. This edition collects reflections, prayers, poetry, and testimonies from contributors ranging from age 7 to 97 at Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in Washington, D.C. Their writings center the work of liberation along the principles of justice, equity, and truth; the sacred relationships within family, sisterhood, and humanity; and spiritual transformations rooted in joy, grace, hope and peace. Edited by Dr. Dora Muhammad.  

The first collection in a series of women's anthologies across the 20 districts of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church.
