Abstract
The study reflects on the rise and spread of the African Independent Churches in postcolonial Africa. It moves from the perspective that African Independent Churches are both African and Christian (Masondo, 2005:101) "engaged in detailed appropriations of religious resources that can be mobilized in working out the meaningful contours of the world" (Chidester, 1997:11). The major part of the study focuses on the Lumpa Church of Alice Lenshina in Zambia. It traces the founding of the church based on a series of vision by Lenshina.
