In darkness with God
the life of Joseph Gomez, a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church
by Annetta Louise Gomez-Jefferson
Joseph Gomez (1890-1979) was a charismatic minister who rose through the ranks of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to be ordained a bishop in 1948. He was also a teacher, civil rights pioneer, scholar, writer, and humanitarian. His daughter, Annetta L. Gomez-Jefferson, has drawn on letters, journals, and church records to write a biography of Joseph Gomez and a history of the age in which he lived.
More than a biography, In Darkness with God is a history of Black life during the early part of the century and a chronicle of the political and religious struggles of the first autonomous Black church in the United States.
