Did YOU Know?
Did you know that the tune to the Missionary Benediction was written by a member of the 2nd Episcopal District?
If you look at #652 in the AME Hymnal, you will find the name of Mrs. Anne Rowe Guiles, a member of Turner Memorial AME Church, Hyattsville, Maryland (Washington Conference) as the person who wrote the words. The names should be switched. Mrs. Guiles actually wrote the tune and Mrs. Isabelle Tanner Temple wrote the words.(The names should be switched in the 2012 Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church).
