# A Short Account of the Rise and Progress of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in America/Preface

PREFACE.
The design of this Treatise is to present to the view of the members of the Church in particular, and the public in general, the manner in which the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church was formed and established in the city of New-York, and how she became the Mother Church of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in America, and her Rise and Progress; also, to give a view of my thoughts and knowledge of the subject of Church Government, as an Episcopal Church, shewing, for the satisfaction of the ministers and members especially, and the public in general, that the "African Methodist Episcopal Church in America," is founded upon as good ​basis as any Church in the United States of America. And supposing that this view will come in contact with the opinions of some who may differ on the subject of Episcopacy, I wish it to be distinctly understood that it is done without any bad feelings towards any of the brethren, or any of our sister Churches who are not connected with us, nor with any intention to exalt my opinion above others; but purposely to give my views upon Scripture testimonies and upon the writings of some of the best authors on the subject of Church Government, and I shall feel willing they should undergo an impartial investigation.
This method will also show to all who may desire information on the subject of proper or authentic organization of Church Government, relative to Episcopacy, that we did not spring up like mushroons, (as some unfriendly persons would like to have it published and believed, to suit their own purposes,) but that we came in possession of that title by deliberate gradation, and have as good right as any other Episcopal Church, to be styled the "African Methodist Episcopal Church in America."
In the prosecution of this work I shall naturally labour under many disadvantages, and therefore cannot promise ​to give an account of every particular circumstance which took place, especially in the formation and establishment of Zion Church in the city of New-York, as forty-four years have passed away since the commencement, and many transactions which might have been pleasing to relate, have passed away with them, there having been no record kept of them by any person, and the memory being too weak to retain them. But I purpose to give some of the leading and most essential circumstances, which occurred during the progression, so far as may be in my power, in order to make this concise narration as interesting as my limited means will admit.
Hoping and praying that the undertaking may give satisfaction to all into whose hands it may come, I close by subscribing myself your sincere brother in the Lord and well-wisher,
CHRISTOPHER RUSH.

This officer entered the Navy, about 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the St. Nicholas, Lieut.-Commander Snow, prison-ship at Plymouth; where he removed as Midshipman to the Oiseau. From Nov. 1807 until Aug. 1813 he served in the West Indies, Mediterranean, and North Sea, in the York 74, Capts. Robt. Barton and Alex.

He was present on the former station when the Menelaus gallantly pursued the French 40-gun frigate Pauline and 16-gun brig Ecureuil, under the batteries in the neighbourhood of Toulon, and then effected a masterly retreat from the French fleet which had come out to their protection, 28 May, 1812. On the death of Sir Peter Parker, who was killed in a land operation at Bellair, near Baltimore, 30 Aug. 1814, he removed to the Hebrus 36, Capt. Edm. Palmer. In her he served in an attack upon the enemy at Point Petre; at the capture of the town of St. Mary’s; at the forcing, in July, 1815, of the formidable passage of the Gironde and the destruction of the heavy batteries by which it was defended; and at the bombardment of Algiers.
