Description of the flag

The flag of A.M.E. Zion can be seen in photographs online, particularly at https://amezpublishinghouse.org, flying outside the church's corporate headquarters. The flag features the A.M.E. Zion triangular logo centered on a white field, with the words "The Freedom Church" in black, italicized, case-sensitive, serif lettering below the logo. The logo itself is complex, consisting of a black triangle bearing the name of the church in white capital letters within the left and right legs of the triangle, and the words "FOUNDED 1796" within the base leg of the triangle. That date refers to the construction of the first black Methodist church in New York City, which eventually led to the founding of A.M.E. Zion in 1821. Within the borders of the black triangle, are the stylized letters "A," "M," "E," and "Z," along with a red Christian cross.
