Since you are going to be a minister, you must know how to pray to God and I assume you have a personal relationship with Jesus. What does He say?  Which school does God give you peace in your heart to go? If you have a calling from above to become a minister, He shall lead the way. If He tells you to choose the expensive school, keep praying and you'll see all the financial need being provided in time.\nGod bless and hope you find out soon.

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.

Francis Asbury (1745-1816) was one of the first two bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States.\n\nBorn at Handsworth, near Birmingham, England of Methodist parents, Asburye became a local preacher at 18 and was ordained at 22. In 1771 he volunteered to travel to America. When the American War of Independence broke out in 1776 he was the only Methodist minister to remain in America.\n\n \nFrancis Asbury statue, Wilmore, KentuckyIn 1784 John Wesley named Asbury and Thomas Coke as co-superintendents of the work in America. This marks the beginning of the "Methodist Episcopal Church of the USA". For the next 32 years, Asbury led all the Methodists in America.\n\nLike Wesley, Asbury preached in all sorts of places: courthouses, public houses, tobacco houses, fields, public squares, wherever a crowd assembled to hear him. For the remainder of his life he rode an average of 6000 miles each year, preaching virtually every day and conducting meetings and conferences. Under his direction the church grew from 1,200 to 214,000 members and 700 ordained preachers.\n\nAsbury kept a journal assiduously; on December 8, 1812 he crossed the Broad River into York County, South Carolina and came to the home of David Leech, Esq. He states in his journal that Leech offered him a Bible and a bottle of brandy; he wrote, "I took one." Years before Asbury had complained in his diary of a German Lutheran man named (Jacob) Bookter in upper Richland County, South Carolina, who charged him too much for a night's lodging for himself and his horse. The incident so inflamed Asbury that he was said to have converted a good number of Lutherans in a fiery sermon the next day.\n\nThere are two schools named after Asbury, both located in Wilmore, Kentucky: Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary. In addition, DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana was originally known as Indiana Asbury College after him. In addition, the town of Asbury Park, New Jersey and the former Asbury Methodist Church on Staten Island (now the Son-Rise Interfaith Center) stand as monuments to his memory in areas known to have been part of his missionary work. An equestrian statue of Asbury was erected in Washington D.C. in 1921.\n\nAsbury's boyhood home, Bishop Asbury Cottage, in Sandwell, England, is now a museum

The Calverts were a wealthy, upper-class political family that converted to Catholicism and faced discrimination in Britain.  Thus, they founded the Maryland Colony as a refuge for persecuted Catholics.  However, the colony had a rather high protestant population, and, in an effort to establish peace between the two groups instituted the Maryland Act of Religious Toleration.  This was the first act in American history that legalized religious freedom.  George Calvert is also known as Lord Baltimore, hence Baltimore, Maryland.

my parents are BOTH ministers, and they made about 25-45 depending on the church really. And they worked second jobs. They're response to this was "we didn't care how much we got paid, our utilities were paid by the church and the house, we would have worked for free, because all we wanted was to touch those people sitting in the pews listening to us. That's all that really matters."
