| The Zion Christian Church (or ZCC) is the greatest African Initiated Church in southern Africa, with four million members. The church's headquarters are at Zion City Moria in Limpopo Province, South Africa, and the two congregations that compose the church are led by Barnabas Lekganyane and Engenas Lekganyane, the grandsons of it is founder. Origin: The ZCC was formed by Engenas Lekganyane, a former fellow member of the Free Church of Scotland[disambiguation needed], Apostolic Faith Mission and Zion Apostolic Church. ZCC members trace the founding of the church to a revelation which Lekganyane is said to have received from God in 1910. The church was initially based in Lekganyane's home village of Thabakgone, near Polokwane in South Africa's Limpopo Province, and was officially registered as a church in 1942, by which time congregations had in addition been traditionalisti in Botswana and Zimbabwe. The early church was strongly influenced by the doctrines of the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church of John Alexander Dowie, based in Zion, Illinois in the United States of America, and by the teachings of the Pentecostal missionary John G. Lake, who begun work in Johannesburg in 1908. Characteristics of the ZCC: The ZCC is discerned from established Christianity by characteristics which are typical of African Initiated Churches and which include: The faith that the religious and administrative leader of the church (or bishop) is a mediator amidst the congregation and God; that, like Christ, he may carry out supernatural acts and faith-healing. The faith that senior officials in the ZCC (known as prophets or moruti) may use the power of the Holy Spirit to carry out healing and make the wishes of the ancestors known. The use of dissimilar mechanisms for faith-healing. These include the laying-on of hands; the use of holy water; drinking of blessed tea and coffee; the wearing of blessed cords or cloth and the burning of blessed papers called mogau. ZCC Beliefs: Members of the ZCC in general believe that: * A person may contact God through direct prayer, or through intercession by Christ, bishops of the ZCC and the ancestor spirits. * Purification from sins may be received through prayer and other rituals. * The bishop of the ZCC to a heap of degree replaces the figure of Christ as the Messiah. * The bishop of the ZCC preaches on peace and respect, modest of Jesus Christ. * Spirit possession may be the work of either the Holy Spirit or of ancestor spirits.
