	Kimbanguism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kimbanguism is a branch of Christianity founded by Simon Kimbangu in what was then the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo).
		The church's name is the Kimbanguist Church (fully Église de Jesus Christ sur Terre par le Prophète Simon Kimbangu, or The Church of Christ on Earth by the Prophet Simon Kimbangu), and is a large, independent African Initiated Church with an estimated one to three million believers.
		In April 1921, Kimbangu, a Baptist mission catechist, inaugurated a mass movement through his miraculous healings and biblical teaching.

	Simon Kimbangu & Kimbanguism
		Kimbangu began a ministry of faith healing in 1921, drawing great crowds to NÕkamba, overflowing the mission churches as far away as Kinshasha, and alarming the Belgian authorities, who feared that he might become a focus for nationalistic rebellion.
		Simon Kimbangu was entirely orthodox in his teaching, down to a strong advocacy of monogamy, which the Kimbanguist church still maintains.
		KimbanguÕs youngest son, Joseph Diangienda led the new church into the era of independence, joining the World Council of Churches in 1970.

		During his trial Kimbangu consciously patterned his behaviour on that of Christ during his passion, and this image of a martyr-figure became idealized during the long imprisonment which cut him off from communication with his followers.
		Before Kimbangu entered prison in 1921, he is said to have predicted that his youngest son, Joseph Diangienda (1918-) would become his succesor.
		When the Belgian government granted sudden independence to the Congo in 1960, the ban on Kimbanguism was lifted and the EJCSK emerged as a national church.

		The movement was well regarded as it allowed the population to take count of their social dissatisfaction: misery, oppression and inability to challenge the white man. Kimbangu is considered, among the population, as the liberator in charge of bringing peace, prosperity and happiness and also a science superior to the colonizer's.
		Above this political message, kimbanguism based itself on the three pilars of its theology: the Bible, the inspired singings and the prophetic messages from its spiritual chief Papa Diangienda (son of Kimbangu).
		Born in 1918, yougest son of Simon Kimbangu, he was the first spiritual chief of the kimbanguist Chrurch, since his official recognition in 1959, untill his death in July 1992.

		Traditions circulating in Mbanza Kongo (formerly São Salvador) in 2002 also place great significance in the role of Beatriz' mother as an inspiration for the prophet and also as playing a role in its continuation, though contemporary sources make no mention of a role for her mother.

		While the Encyclopedia has been written primarily with a Western, English-speaking (even British) audience in mind, one is delighted to see that the focus is a much wider one: for instance, there is a good, seven-page general introduction to the phenomenon of African independent churches, as well as entries on several of them.
		While the book could obviously not report on the current divisions within Kimbanguism (most entries were completed months or even years before the book was published, as is usual in such a collective work requiring complex co-ordination), the entries appear to be well-informed about recent developments.

		To a far greater extent than was the case a half century ago, it has become all too easy to set aside Jude's injunction to "contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints" (Jude 3; NIV).
		In fact, it has become all too easy to misconstrue what that faith is. Consequently, missiologists often come up with very different assessments of prophet movements such as Kimbanguism and Zionism in Africa and certain charismatic movements such as Jesus Only in Latin America.
		Or, as indicated above, they sometimes find it difficult to assess relationships with cultic movements such as Mormonism in North America.
