Following swiftly on the heels of the Suwanee Convention of Southern Bishops in late July 1883 a large gathering of clergy and laymen met in New York City to organize the work of the Afro-American clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was a historic moment and "of the forty-two Colored Clergy of the United States only four had responded to the call in the negative and three others had failed to respond." A Committee was formed chaired by Alexander Crummell to draft a statement to the Church in America. Here the Committee calls attention "to the moral disasters which have come to our race through slavery – how family life parental authority and marriage integrity have been broken down by servitude" and issues a call for "an extraordinary effort for the erection of Churches throughout the South" especially in the large urban centers. In addition to the proceedings the work includes a "Sermon on Church Work by the Colored People" by Rev. Thomas A. Starkey the Bishop of Northern New Jersey a brief Finance Committee Report and concludes with the "Regulations of the Women's Auxiliary of the Convocation of the Colored Clergy." The latter is comprised of five articles and an addendum plus a listing of twenty women belonging to the New York and Newark branches of the organization. A scarce work with just over a dozen institutional copies. Not in Blockson.<br /> <br /> Library Company Afro-Americana 8507A. Starbuck & Dunham, Book and Job Printers unknown
