Both are very active churches today offering regular Sunday service, Internet broadcast service on Sundays and their are pillars in their communities. Today, there are thousands of A.M.E. churches all over the world. Closer to home in Boston, St. Paul A.M.E of Jamaica Plain and Bipshop Allen Drive in Cambridge are two of the most well known. Charles Street A.M.E. on Warren Street in Black Boston is located in the Grove Hall section. The head of the A.M.E. church family works from the mother church in Philadephia.

Bishops are assigned to A.M.E. churches around the world from Philadephia.

Why she chose to go there when I was a baby rather to go to one closer to the house name High Springs Baptist church, I will never know.

New England abolitionists staffed the project with teachers. Later, the African American AME Zion church was born up north. And the rest is history..
