Abstract

The African Methodist Episcopal church has a long history of stellar prophetic ministry within the African American community. Both males and females have contributed to that rich tradition; however, there has been an unjust trend in which women preachers are relegated to small churches and/or dysfunctional churches. A dialectic tension has erupted between the women preachers in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the cost they have paid to fulfill God's calling. Because of this phenomenon, their preaching voice has been under-developed and in need of nurturing. In this work, the author explores how the voices of women preachers from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries will help to nurture and empower twenty-first century prophetic women preachers in the African Methodist Episcopal church.
