After developing a huge faith healing business in Chicago, with multiple homes and businesses, including a publishing house, to keep his thousands of followers, he bought an expansive amount of land north of the city to set up a private community. There Dowie founded the city of Zion, Illinois, where he personally owned all the land and established many businesses. The operations of the city have been characterized as "a carefully-devised large-scale platform for securities fraud..." His lieutenant initiated an investigation of business practices and deposed him from leadership in 1905. Dowie was given an allowance until his death. In this period Dowie had also refined his religious organization, naming it in 1903 as the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church. (en)

  • John Alexander Dowie (25 de maio de 1847– 9 de março de 1907) foi um pregador e utopista escoto-australiano. Nascido na Escócia, emigrou em 1860 para a Austrália, onde ordenou-se ministro congregacionalista. Dowie deixou sua função pastoral para tornar-se pregador e curador itinerante em 1880. Emigrou uma vez mais, para os Estados Unidos; e em 1896 fundou sua cidade, Zion, ao norte de Chicago e organizou sua igreja a Christian Catholic Apostolic Church. Por motivos de escândalos pessoais e má gestão financeira, sua utopia em Zion entrou em decadência a partir de 1903. Mesmo assim, a concepção de cura divina de Dowie influenciou o nascente pentecostalismo. Alguns missionários oriundos de Zion foram para a África do Sul e iniciaram o que hoje resultam no zionismo, movimento cristão africano. (pt)
