Parishioners at mass. Abyssinian Baptist Church. 132 Odell Clark Place (commonly 138th Street) near the 7th Avenue. Phone 212-862-7474. (Sun 11:00). This is one of the oldest churches for parishioners of color in the city. It was founded in 1808 and became one of the richest churches in New York, thanks in part to the charismatic Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. The most characteristic feature of this neo-Gothic style church today is its gospel choir every Sunday attracts hundreds of tourists. As much as to endeavor to say that the ceremony is not merely a gospel performance or entertainment, but is only a religious act, the truth is that when one is among the visiting public, which is on the top floor and completely separated from parishioners, has the feeling of being more of a Broadway play than in a religious ceremony, but yes, it's worth. Visitors are only welcome at the Sunday mass at 11 and to gain entry to queue there horan before and at least two women must wear the shoulders covered and men can not enter with shoes shirts.
