"The minutes of the General Assembly which convened at the old church in
Cleveland, Tennessee, January 9-14, 1912, gives the names of the delegates
who attended that Assembly. There were no colored delegates there.
The minutes of the Eighth General Assembly, which convened January 7-12,
1913, does not give the names of the delegates, but it does give a list of
churches representing the Church of God, and among the churches of
Florida, four colored churches are listed. These were the churches:
Coconut Grove, Jacksonville, Miami, and Webster. However, Miami and
Jacksonville were given the first on the official list of the Churches of
God published." [From History of the Church of God Colored Work
