  • Christ Community Church in Zion, Illinois, formerly the Christian Catholic Church or Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, is an evangelical non-denominational church founded in 1896 by John Alexander Dowie. The city of Zion was founded by Dowie as a religious community to establish a society on the principles of the Kingdom of God. Members are sometimes called Zionites (not to be confused with the German Zionites). Over the years there have been many changes to the church founded by John Alexander Dowie. He was a popular faith healer and started the church and the Zion community with utopian ideals. Under Wilbur Glenn Voliva, Dowie's successor, the church was noted for its adherence to a flat earth cosmology. The succession of pastors after Voliva moved the church towards mainstream Protestant doctrine. In the early 20th century, the Christian Catholic Church had worldwide appeal. The church's magazine, The Leaves of Healing, was distributed in the U.S., Australia, Europe, and southern Africa. At its height, Dowie's movement had some 20,000 adherents. The Zionist Churches of southern Africa trace their spiritual heritage back to Dowie and the Christian Catholic Church. Because of Dowie's emphasis on faith healing and restorationism the church is considered a forerunner of Pentecostalism. The name Christian Catholic Church is still used for Christ Community Church's worldwide fellowship of churches and mission work. As of 2008, it has about 3,000 members in the United States and Canada. Missionary work is conducted in Japan, Philippines, Guyana, Palestine, Indonesia, and the Navajo Nation. Missionary work continues among the African Zionists under the banner of Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA). ZEMA's goal is to convert the African Zionists from syncretism to mainstream Christian theology. (en)

  • Christian Catholic Church of Zion var ett kristet trossamfund, som bildades 1896 och kring sekelskiftet 1899-1900 växte fram kring den skotsk-amerikanske väckelseevangelisten John Alexander Dowie. Under 1890-talet var Dowie verksam i Chicago och år 1900 köpte han land vid Lake Michigan, norr om staden och bildade ett kristet kollektiv som han kallade Zion. Dowie bildade också ett företag, som kom att få namnet Zion Industries, för att finansiera kollektivet. Två viktiga inslag i kyrkans lära var helbrägdagörelse genom tro och ett heligt liv. Dowies anhängare förväntades t.ex. avstå från tobak, alkohol, fläskkött, läkare och mediciner. Dowie och hans närmsta anhängare började även kläda sig själv i långa prästskrudar, efter förebild från översteprästen Aron i Gamla Testamentet. Troendedop genom trefaldig nedsänkning praktiserades. Genom stora väckelsekampanjer och tidningen Leaves of Healing spreds detta budskap som en präriebrand och redan 1905 hade man drygt 30 000 medlemmar runt om i världen. 7 500 av dessa slog sig ner i Zion City. Kyrkans missionsverksamhet i södra Afrika ledde där, i kombination med inspiration från traditionell afrikansk religionsutövning, fram till bildandet av så kallade sionistkyrkor. (sv)
