The CME Church and COGIC are profoundly connected by the rich
histories both denominations share of the struggles and successes
of the black church. Through Elder Robert E. Hart's desire for
spiritual change and freedom, a schism developed, and he set the
two denominations temporarily but gently at odds; however, the CME
Church didn't feel threatened by the Sanctified Church or its
doctrine and their existence.
The Church of God in Christ through the efforts of its founder,
Bishop Charles H. Mason, and Elder Robert E. Hart, who was
appointed the first Overseer of Tennessee, chose Memphis as the
nucleus of the denomination; and from there, they went into all
parts of the country with the pentecostal-holiness message. With
the help of others, Mason and Hart introduced primarily to the
African-American religious community a gospel that helped change
history and lives in their struggles for spiritual freedom and
social justice.
Elder Hart represented and protected COGIC for twelve years as
their attorney and represented Bishop Mason when he was jailed for
preaching and teaching holiness. Through his legal advice, the
reorganized church was protected from the lost of valuable property
and hostile litigations in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas
throughout his tenure.
