Question: Who started the Bethel branch of the religion the black community founded in the former US capital?

in 2011, 33% of germans were not members of officially recognised religious associations with special status. irreligion in germany is strongest in the former east germany, which used to be predominantly protestant before state atheism, and major metropolitan areas.a 2017 estimate even shows that 37.0% of the german population were nonconfessional.islam is the second largest religion in the country. in the 2011 census, 1.9% of the census population (1.52 million people) gave their religion as islam, but this figure is deemed unreliable because a disproportionate number of adherents of this religion (and other religions, such as judaism) are likely to have made use of their right not to answer the question. figures from religionswissenschaftlicher medien- und informationsdienst suggest a figure of 4.4 to 4.7 million (around 5.5% of the population) in 2015. a study conducted by the federal office for migration and refugees found that between 2011 and 2015 the muslim population rose by 1.2 million people, mostly due to immigration. most of the muslims are sunnis and alevites from turkey, but there are a small number of shi'ites, ahmadiyyas and other denominations.other religions comprising less than one per cent of germany's population are buddhism with 270,000 adherents, judaism with 200,000 adherents, and hinduism with some 100,000 adherents. all other religious communities in germany have fewer than 50,000 adherents each. <SEP> The state government left Philadelphia in 1799, and the federal government was moved to Washington, DC in 1800 with completion of the White House and Capitol. Before 1800, its free black community founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), the first independent black denomination in the country, and the first black Episcopal Church. The city remained the young nation's largest with a population of nearly 50,000 at the turn of the 19th century; it was a financial and cultural center. The free black community also established many schools for its children, with the help of Quakers. New York City soon surpassed Philadelphia in population, but with the construction of roads, canals, and railroads, Philadelphia became the first major industrial city in the United States. <SEP> The church was organized by African - American members of St. George's Methodist Church who walked out due to racial segregation in the worship services. Mother Bethel was one of the first African - American churches in the United States, dedicated July 29, 1794, by Bishop Francis Asbury. On October 12, 1794, Reverend Robert Blackwell announced that the congregation was received in full fellowship in the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1816 Rev Richard Allen brought together other black Methodist congregations from the region to organize the new African Methodist Episcopal Church denomination. He was elected bishop of this denomination. After the American Civil War, its missionaries went to the South to help freedmen and planted many new churches in the region. <SEP> lackey returned to the us and located in san francisco where he worked for a number of start-up companies before applying to y combinator. he was accepted into y combinator's summer 2011 round. lackey founded cryptoseal, a vpn as a service start-up with a small group of people well known in the computer security community, and secured funding from ron conway and a well known venture capital fund. in june 2014, cryptoseal was acquired by cloudflare. <SEP> In September 1774, the First Continental Congress brought together delegates from the colonies in Philadelphia, followed by the Second Continental Congress, which met from May 1775 to March 1781.
