Episcopal Methodist Clergy of Georgia

February 23, 1838

Resolutions adopted, include the following:
     “Resolved, that we view slavery as a civil and domestic institution, and one with which, as ministers of Christ, we have nothing to do, further than to ameliorate the condition of the slave by endeavoring to impart to him, and to his master, the benign influences of the religion of Christ, and aiding both in their way to heaven.”
