Charlotte Meade (?-?), United Methodist Church West Virginia layperson, is a lifelong member of the Black Methodists for Church Renewal (BMCR) Caucus. Meade served in various leadership capacities for the national BMCR organization. These positions included Secretary and Assistant Secretary for the BMCR National Board of Directors (1971-1980), Board Member at Large (1987), assigned to Personnel Committee (1986) and Communications Committee (1987).
The collection essentially documents Meade's involvement with Black Methodists for Church Renewal (BMCR) as evident in her records dating from 1969 to 2002. Meade's documents do not contain BMCR office files but rather are primary records collected at annual meetings with few exceptions. The bulk of collection is yearly meeting program books with agendas that may have some supporting documents. It should be noted these program books are not inclusive within the spanned years previously mentioned. Reports, papers and audio recordings either with transcripts or not from annual meetings provide insight into BMCR's foci, issues, and worship such as the Songs of Zion hymnal. Other BMCR organizational publications furnish the scope and mission of the organization within the larger United Methodist Church. Additional records are small in number that may or may not inform BMCR's ongoing work.
