I met Bro. Howard many years ago. I visited his church in New Castle once when they were having an anniversary or fellowship meeting or something. I remember being in services in one building and then crossing the street into an older building for a meal.
I heard Bro. Ooton teach once. This was at an AMA service at the Jesus' Name Pentecostal church in Dayton, OH. Bro. William Coleman was pastor. His son is now pastor. I've preached for the elder Bro. Coleman a few times. Bro. Ooton was an old man and that had to be in the mid nineteen seventies or so.
From what I understand, Bro. Ooton formed the AMA (Apostolic Ministerial Alliance) in 1941 and they had about 1000 ministers at one time. When I heard him that group was considerably smaller. They only had a few churches listed in their magazine which Bro. Coleman edited and published.
