She ran her eyes over the bronze plaque in the church's vestibule: two-and-a-half columns of names, 99 in all, and all pastors of St. John United Methodist Church since its founding in Augusta, Georgia, in 1798. She recognized a good number of the names, giants in the history of southern Methodism. Five of them became bishops. In fact, one of these bishops occasioned the secession of the southern Methodists from their northern brethren in 1844; his wife inherited a black slave, and northern Methodists could not tolerate a bishop who was a slave-owner. Thus, an ex-pastor of St. John was instrumental in an ecclesiastical schism that prefigured America's bloody schism—the Civil War—by 17 years. ... [Read More]

Semblanza Renea Slater, "Estados Unidos en 2005: Quiénes Somos Hoy" , Journal USA: Sociedad y valores estadounidenses, diciembre de 2004
Recorrió con la mirada ojos la placa de bronce en el vestíbulo de la iglesia: dos columnas y media de nombres, 99 en total, todos ellos de pastores de la Iglesia Metodista Unida de San Juan, desde su fundación en Augusta, Georgia, en 1798. Reconoció una buena cantidad de nombres, gigantes en la historia del metodismo del sur. Cinco de ellos llegaron a ser obispos. En efecto, uno de estos obispos causó la separación de los metodistas del sur de sus hermanos del norte en 1844; su esposa heredó un esclavo negro y los metodistas del norte no podían tolerar que un obispo fuera propietario de esclavos. Por lo tanto, un ex pastor de San Juan tuvo un papel decisivo en un cisma eclesiástico que se anticipó en 17 años al sangriento cisma de Estados Unidos, la Guerra Civil. ... [Read More]

Ela passa os olhos pela placa de bronze no vestíbulo da igreja: duas colunas e meia de nomes, 99 no total, todos eles de pastores da Igreja Metodista Unida St. John, desde sua fundação em Augusta, na Geórgia, em 1798. Ela reconhece muitos desses nomes, gigantes da história do Metodismo do sul. Cinco deles se tornaram bispos. Na verdade, um desses bispos ocasionou a separação dos metodistas do sul dos seus irmãos do norte em 1844; sua esposa tinha herdado um escravo negro e os metodistas do norte não podiam tolerar que um bispo fosse proprietário de escravos. Daí que um ex-pastor da St. John se tornou o agente de um cisma eclesiástico que prefigurou a divisão sangrenta dos EUA – a Guerra Civil – com 17 anos de antecedência. ... [Read More]
