Membership letter written by Pastor Lindsay on behalf of Lucy Arnold
-
Description
-
Reverend J.A. Lindsay, pastor of Allen Temple African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Atlanta, Georgia, issued this membership letter to confirm Lucy Arnold's status as a member in good standing. The letter certifies her as an active, tithing, and loyal Christian, likely serving as a recommendation for her acceptance into a new congregation.
-
The history of Allen Temple AME Church dates back to 1866 when an AME church on Jenkins Street in Summerhill, Georgia, required organization. Within a few years, a leadership team was established, and the church was named Allen Temple in honor of the A.M.E Church's founder, Bishop Richard Allen. During his tenure as reverend, J.A. Lindsay notably paid off the church's long-standing mortgage (Allen Temple AME Church 2024).
