The ten most dynamic and productive black female Holiness preachers of the Twentiety Century.
Mary Magdalena Lewis Tate (a.k.a., Mother Tate) courageously entered the guarded halls of organized religion and thrust open the doors for prepared women to ascend the ecclesiastical ladders of the clergy to become elders, bishops, and chief leaders of myriad religious organizations. In her stride, she successfully compassed many barriers of social and religious prejudice, bias, envy, and hatred. She surmounted the hurdles of education, communication, and transportantion (walking, using barges, steamships, mule-drawn wagons, decrepit automobiles, and Jim Crow trains) and prevailed. In her wake, thousands of eager women would don the coloful regalia of official ordination and, with authority, flood the formerly verboten podiums, pulpits, and rostrums of chapels and churches throughout the world.
Excerpt
The Daughters [of Zion], and their male counterparts, the Sons, were well trained in the lessons of leadership, church organization, and church development, as evidenced through their subsequent leadership prowess and church expansion. They became masters in the concepts and tactics fostered through their spiritual Mother and Leader, Mary Lena Lewis Tate. Through them and the faithful bishops and elders under their leadership, the organization was extended and/or strengthened in 48 of the 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia. Its international influence has gained worldwide proportions, and its economic impact and dollar worth has extended well into the millions.
