Around the Family Altar

"Informative and controversial, this book explores the issue of domesticity in the nineteenth-century African Methodist Episcopal Church. The power of its members to shape the dynamics of the family was the key to strengthening the spirit and role of African Americans following the Civil War." "Using the voices of men and women, clergy and laity, and mining the principal publications of the AME church, Bailey presents a new understanding of family life in American religious history."--Jacket.
