Body of Methodist Episcopals organized at Jackson, Tennessee, December 16, 1870 with the name Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. This organization was made up of those Negroes who were not members of other Negro bodies and desired a church of their own. In doctrine they are in complete agreement with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and also in polity, with a few necessary variations. Four weekly periodicals are published by them. In the 1950's the organization changed its name to Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. See also,
