This is the Wikipedia article on the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, a historically Black Methodist denomination, an open, crowd-edited tertiary reference rather than a scholarly history or the denomination's own official record. It is appropriately cited here only for basic, checkable organizational facts such as founding and denominational structure, claims that are stable and uncontroversial in the specialist literature on African American religious history. Like any Wikipedia article, its content can be edited by anyone at any time and it carries no named editorial board of its own, so it is not the place to look for a disputed or interpretive claim about the denomination's history or theology, an independent scholarly history of African American Methodism is the stronger source for anything beyond these basic facts.

NotesA Wikipedia article on the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, a crowd-edited tertiary encyclopedia entry rather than a scholarly or denominational primary source. Use only for basic, uncontested facts such as founding and denominational structure; prefer the denomination's own published doctrinal statements or independent scholarship for contested points such as ordination of women or entire sanctification.
