Ep. 21 - Richard Allen - Freedom's Prophet - a podcast by Andrew Lay

Richard Allen has been called Freedom’s Prophet, the Apostle of Freedom, and A Black Founding Father. He was born as a slave in a colonial American world. And Allen would grow up to do some incredible things – He was the founder and pastor of Mother Bethel Church in South Philadelphia. He was the organizer of the Free African Society which was the first black reform society in America. He is probably most known for being the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Furthermore, he was the first black Bishop in the United States, and perhaps even the world. He was a preacher, an author, an abolitionist, and a conductor on the underground railroad and he lived an incredible life. Honestly, I think we could spend hours just listing all his accomplishments. He did more in one lifetime than most people do in ten lifetimes.
