Product Description

This text provides a comprehensive history of one of the most famous black congregations in America. From its humble beginnings, St. Philip's or iginated from classes conducted by Elais Neau and other clerks for the society for the propagations of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. From these classes emerged a highly educated, African-American group comprized of free and enslaved blacks. W.E.B Dubuois hailed it as the foundation for the Talented Tenth in his book "Souls of Black Folk". After the American Revolution, St. Philip's has since become the church of middle-class blacks across New York City. This work chronicles over two centuries of the church's history, which fills a significant lacon in African-American religious history.
