Commemorating the 191st Anniversary of the Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church

This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (J 386), not a substantive bill. It formally commemorates the 190th anniversary of the Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jamaica, New York, recognizing its history since 1834, resilience through events like a 1944 fire and 1969 firebombing, and its community impact. The resolution requires the legislature to pause its proceedings to honor the church and directs a copy of the resolution to be sent to the church. No new policies, funding, or obligations are created.
