Jackson UMC: ‘Downtown for good’

Dr. Ashley Boggan D., host of “Un-Tied Methodism” discusses the history of First United Methodist Church of Jackson, Tenn., with the Rev. Sky McCracken. In addition to being the city’s oldest church in continuous operation, the church has a rich Civil War-era history as the building that housed a hospital and stable for Union forces. In 1870, the church played a major role in organizing the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, now the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.
