  Book Description
  On a September afternoon in 1853, three
African American men from St. Philip's Church walked into the Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and took
their seats among five hundred wealthy and powerful white church leaders. Ultimately, and with great reluctance, the
Convention had acceded to the men's request: official recognition for St. Philip's, the first African American Episcopal
church in New York City. In Faith in Their Own Color, Craig D. Townsend tells the remarkable story of St. Philip's and
its struggle to create an autonomous and independent church. His work unearths a forgotten chapter in the history of New
York City and African Americans and sheds new light on the ways religious faith can both reinforce and overcome racial
boundaries. Founded in 1809, St. Philip's had endured a fire; a riot by anti-abolitionists that nearly destroyed the
church; and more than forty years of discrimination by the Episcopalian hierarchy. In contrast to the majority of
African Americans, who were flocking to evangelical denominations, the congregation of St. Philip's sought to define
itself within an overwhelmingly white hierarchical structure. Their efforts reflected the tension between their desire
for self-determination, on the one hand, and acceptance by a white denomination, on the other. The history of St.
Philip's Church also illustrates the racism and extraordinary difficulties African Americans confronted in antebellum
New York City, where full abolition did not occur until 1827. Townsend describes the constant and complex negotiation of
the divide between black and white New Yorkers. He also recounts the fascinating stories of historically overlooked
individuals who built and fought for St. Philip's, including Rev. Peter Williams, the second African American ordained
in the Episcopal Church; Dr. James McCune Smith, the first African American to earn an M.D.; pickling magnate Henry
Scott; the combative priest Alexander Crummell; and John Jay II, the grandson of the first chief justice of the Supreme
Court and an ardent abolitionist, who helped secure acceptance of St. Philip's.
