Biography/History "Historic St. George's [in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania] is the cradle of American Methodism and the denomination's oldest church building in continuous service. People called 'Methodists' have been meeting within its walls since Page 3 -

4 "Francis Asbury, first bishop of the Methodist Church, served [at St. George's] as pastor. Asbury worked tirelessly to bring Methodism to the new land, traveling 270,000 miles on horseback and ordaining more than 4,000 ministers in 35 years. He called St. George's 'The Cathedral Church of American Methodism.'... "St. George's received the first itinerant preachers sent to America by [John] Wesley. St. George's appointed Mary Thorne as the first woman to be a class leader. The first Methodist bookstore, the first interdenominational Sunday school and the first Methodist Home Missionary Society all began here. Edward Evans of Philadelphia, an early St. George's trustee, may be the rightful possessor of the title 'First American-born itinerant.' "St. George's licensed Richard Allen and Absalom Jones, the first African American Lay Preachers of Methodism, in Their successful evangelistic leadership drew a large community of African Americans to the church. As a result, racial tensions flared; after a time, a progressively segregated seating policy for blacks brought Allen and Jones to lead the African congregation in a historic walkout that resulted in the formation of the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas and Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. However, some African Americans remained in the St. George's congregation. In 1796, many of those remaining built African Zoar Church, led by "Black Harry" Hosier, a frequent companion of Francis Asbury... "From 100 members in 1769, the church grew to a peak membership of 3,200 in 1835, leading the congregation to excavate the basement to accommodate a Sunday school. Factories replaced houses in St. George's neighborhood after the Civil War, reducing the congregation to just 25 by The building was nearly demolished in the 1920s to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. A court battle saved the historic site [the bridge was redirected around the church], and now St. George's is known, among its many other distinctions, as 'the church that moved the bridge.'" The congregation is still active as of Bibliography: Quoted text from: Historic St. George's United Methodist Church. "History of St. George's - Museum."
