Abstract
The African Methodist Episcopal Church gave rise to one of the pioneer educators of the nineteenth century-Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne. Utilizing accepted theological currents of nineteenth century American Christianity, Bishop Payne constructed a theology which offered support for ministerial education and rejected prevailing anti-intellectualism. While Payne experienced resistance to higher education within the A.M.E. Church, he rose to the position of bishop. A life-long advocate of education, Payne integrally shaped the foundation and early years of Wilberforce University.
