History Note

The creation of the African American centered Central Jurisdiction, as well as the five geographic jurisdictions, were part of a compromise between the Methodist Episcopal Church and Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in order to merge with the Methodist Protestant Church to form the Methodist Church in 1939. Race was always the ever present, heavily weighted, issue in the background during merger talks. Because of the insistence by the Evangelical United Brethren Church to end the Central Jurisdiction as a part of the 1968 United Methodist Church merger became the final nails in the racially segregated coffin.
