Attempts To Rule By
Threats And Yioleiit Abuse
In a recent letter addressed
to the Rt. Reverend S. G.
Spottswood, Chairman, and
the Board of Bishops of the
A. M. E. Zion Church, a group
composed of some of the lead
ing members of St. Mark A.
M. E. Zion Church have peti
tioned for a new pastor. Be
low is a copy ot the letter ad
dressed to the Board of Bi-
i^ops.
GREETINGS:
We, the undersigned mem
bers in good standing of St.
Mark African Methodist Epis
copal Zion Church, Durham,
N. C., Central North Carolina
Conference, Ninth Episcopal
District, and representbig a
large number of St. Mark
members similarly situated,
respectfully submit the fol
lowing complahit and petition
for your consideration and
adjudication:
For the past sixteen years
the Rev. S. P. Perry has ser
ved as pastor of St. Mark
Church. When he came to us,
and during the early part t>f
his administration, St. Mark
oceupied a place In the front
ranks of the .Churches hi the
city of Durham, N. C. Its ser
vice and influence were
known and respected by the
religious and civic histitutlons
of our area.
Great crowds of eager and
earnest worshippers attended
our services, both morning
and night, and our entire pro
gram was operated with
gratifying success.
Some years ago Rev. Per
ry inaugurated a move to
build a new church to cost ap-
proxbnatetjr |200,000. At
first the members were en
thusiastic over the project but
during the entire sixteen years
of his administration we have
raised only $74,000.00 for this
purpose.
In the meantime, however,
Rev. Perry has changed from
a gracious, congenial and in
spiring spiritual leader to a
scheming, self-willed and in
temperate boss-type of min
ister, and has consistently at
tempted to rule his members
by threats, intimidations and
sometimes violent public a-
buse, one outburst of which
was delivered in the presence
of Bishop R. L. Jones on a
recent occasion.
As a result of Rev. Perry’s
continued ungenerous atti
tude, selfish acts and intem
perate words the morale of
the Church is probably at the
lowest point in its history. Its
former glory and high pre
stige have faded away, and
the uncouth demonstrations
have made us the laughing
stock of Durham.
Many of our t>est.memt>er8
have gone to other A. M. B.
Zion Churches, and some have
gone to other Denominations,
rather than submit to thta
form of ministerial tyranny.
Our regular Sunday morn
ing congregattons have been
greatly reduced, and many
times we have only thirty-five
or twenty persons attendhig
our night services.
Since Rev. Perry launched
the project of a new Saint
Mark Church the following
new Churches have been built
and completed hi the city of
Durham:
Ebene^r Qsptlst
First Calvary Baptist
Morehead Baptist
St. John Baptist
Presbyterian
St. Joseph A. M. E.
New Educational Building,
and remodeling of Church.
These projects have been
completed at the cost of many
hundreds of thousands ot dol
lars while we have dragged
along for sixteen years rais-
hig only $74,000.00 because of
inefficient and htettective ad
ministration.
This Committee, respectful
ly presenthig this appeal, and
the members we represent,
have been loyal Zionites all
our lives. Some of us have
AME Zion Group Petitions Nshop For
New Pastor At St. InTTurliani
been members of St. Mark
Church for more than forty
years and have served in of
ficial capacities for many
years. It is not and has never
been our desire or intention
to leave St. Mark Church, re
gardless of unfavorable con
ditions.
But we would like* to see
some action that would re
store the morale and prestige
of St. Mark Church to its
former high state.
We have made several ap
peals to Bishop R. L. Jones
begging him to remedy our
situation but thus far we have
had no favorable results.
We have sent two appeals to
you, our Board of Bishops, but
you have not seen fit to favor
us with a reply. It may be that
our previous appeals to jrou
were not in~order; but accord*
ing to the 1048 Book of Dis
cipline, Page 98, Paragraph
85, we imow that this com
plaint and petition is regular
and in order.
Therefore, we respectfully
ask that you consider our dis
turbed condition and in some
way arrange that we have a
new Pastor in the reasonable
future at St. Mark Church.'
Resitectfully Submitted,
Your Committee,
