African New Religious Movement

This book filled the vacuum the mainline and African Independent Churches lacked on the field in their operations. Missionary Churches stressed on salvation of the soul along with Westerner medication. IPHC came into the scene when she was needed most. The latter addressed issues that are very dear to the heart of the Africans. She could solved the problem of the unknown through divine healing, alleviation of poverty on the land, liberation of the destinies of the youths and communities, destruction of principalities and powers by making Christianity practicable in the African context. Recognition of women as prophetesses and co-leaders with their male counterparts helped in the mass population of the church. On the contrast, attempt to make Christianity attractive to the Africans, she fell short of historic Christianity that is identifiable to Jesus Christ. This make some Christian Theologians to classify IPHC as syncretic Sect. This notwithstanding, if she will be relevant in the post modern Christianity, a deliberate efforts for her leaders to be trained theologically has to be adopted.
