Description: Information about the activities, finances and organizational structure of the congregation. The Minutes detail their business activities with a brief synopsis of the morning, afternoon, and night sessions included for each day of the annual meeting. Of particular interest is a "Report on the State of the Country" which makes note of and protests the lynchings and other violence inflicted upon black members of the community. This report also condemns some professors of Christianity for their interpretation of the Bible and teachings about the life and works of Jesus Christ. Lists of Ordained Ministers, Committee Reports, rolls, and financial records are also to be found within these annual reports. Reports on obituaries, foreign missions, agriculture, new churches, and schools illustrate the vitality of the Kenansville E.M.B.A. going into the 1920s.
