The A.M.E. Zion Church
Judicial Council
The Judicial Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (the A.M.E. Zion Church) was established in 1988 and has issued many decisions. The decisions were published in the A.M.E. Zion Church's Star of Zion newspaper. However, there was no central repository where previously issued Judicial Council decisions could be found. The Rev. Attorney John L. Walker, Sr. saw the need for reviewing previously issued decisions and undertook the task of compiling prior decisions by reviewing issues of the Star of Zion since the establishment of the Judicial Council.
The archive of the Star of Zion in Charlotte, North Carolina was the starting place for the issued decisions. Photo snapshots, scanned images, and pen-and-ink copying were used to reconstruct the decisions contained in this volume. Every attempt was made to accurately reproduce the decisions.
