To Missy:
The AME Church may have the two Sacraments you mentioned, Baptism and Communion, but I think if you trace the history back far enough, you'll probably find the concept of excluding marriage from the Sacraments is based upon Luther's teachings.
I do understand that the Episcopal and then the later Methodist denominations are a result of the breach caused by Henry VIII's argument with Rome. However, the CONCEPTS proposed by Luther and later non-Catholic leaders began to intermingle.
ALL family histories are fascinating to research, whether it is human families or religious families or even scientific thought families!
Peace be with you,
