Description: In 1808, a group of Africans in America and Ethiopian sea merchants, armed with their faith in God and strengthened by mercies already seen, left First Baptist Church in lower Manhattan and withdrew forever their membership. They had refused to accept racially segregated seating in God’s house and were determined to start their own church. Abyssinian moves forward in faith, a church with a vision to be a vanguard for positive social change. The Abyssinian Baptist Church in the City of New York is located at 132 Odell Clark Place (formerly 138th Street) in Central Harlem.
