Joseph Flintoft Berry

Joseph Flintoft Berry (May 13, 1856 – February 11, 1931) was a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, elected in 1904.

He was led to Christ by two young friends, who took him to his father's barn and there held a prayer-meeting.

March 5, 1924, it was reported that Bishop Berry of Philadelphia told the New Jersey Methodist Conference that "every Methodist preacher has as much right to belong to the Ku Klux Klan as to Masons or Odd Fellows if he thinks it is a proper thing to do.

"[1] Bishop Berry served the Buffalo, New York Episcopal Area (Genesee Annual Conference) for eight years.

His body was brought back to Mount Clemens, Michigan to be buried with his two sons who had died during his pastorate there.
