More on Church of God in Christ
Description from Wikipedia:
The Church of God in Christ, Incorporated is a Christian church in the Pentecostal tradition. The church has congregations in nearly 60 countries around the world. It is also the denomination from which early leaders of the Assemblies of God denomination first received ministerial credentials before forming their own organization in 1914. While the most probable reason of the early separation from the Church of God in Christ by the early leaders of the Assemblies of God was racially motivated, the two organizations have dedicated themselves to reconciling and healing the two streams of faith by working together in common ministries. Two signs of this reconciliation and healing are the 1994 "Memphis Miracle" and the School of Urban Missions of Oakland, CA operated jointly by both denominations.
