Title: Annual Report of L.L. Berry, Secretary-Treasurer of Missions of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to the Board of Managers [mimeographed caption title]
Author: [African Methodist Episcopal Church]: Berry, Llewellyn L.
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [N.p., but New York City, 1939. Very good.. 20pp. of mimeographed text printed on rectos only, stapled. Some dust-soiling and uneven toning to outer leaves, soft central vertical fold throughout. A rare annual report authored by L.L. Berry, secretary-treasurer of the New York-based Missionary Department of the A.M.E. Church for the year 1938-39. Llewellyn L. Berry (1876-1954) was born in Hampton, Virginia and graduated from Hampton Institute. He served as pastor of various A.M.E. churches in North Carolina and Virginia between 1908 and 1933 before spending the last twenty-one years of his life as Secretary-Treasurer of his denomination's Home and Foreign Mission Department. The present report contains an opening message by Berry, as well as sections on missionaries who have passed away in the last year, "Visits to the Foreign Field" (reporting on official visits to "all the mission fields in Africa"), a separate section on the group's "Cuban Mission" (which Berry attended), a section on the the Voice of Missions (the organization's official periodical), and more. Most of the latter half of the report is comprised of a detailed financial report of the Missionary Department, before Berry adds an optimistic conclusion. According to OCLC, Columbia University is the only institution holding any annual reports from Berry, with copies from 1933-34, and 1940-48; we could locate no institutional holdings for the present year.
