Excerpt from John Alexander Dowie and the Christian Apostolic Church in Zion: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Divinity School in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In this discussion we will use the term Zion as referring to the C. C. A. C. In Zion, or the people whom Mr. Dowie has so organized. The first organization was effected in February, 1896 as the C. C. C. In Zion, and altered in September, 1904 to C. C. A. C. In Zion. Mr. Dowie was known as General Overseer, then as Prophet, and since September, 1904, as First Apostle. This he has demanded of his followers. In the organization of the church are found various officers. Overseers, who have the supervision of fields of labor or departments of work, e.g. The Overseer of Zion City, or for Africa, or for Australia, etc.; Elders, who administer appointed branches or stations; Evangelists, who teach the way of the Kingdom of God and who hold missions at various points; Deacons and Deaconesses, who are resident in branches or gatherings, devoting their time to secular duties of their own choosing or church appoint ment.i' A woman may hold any of these offices. Mrs. Jane Dowie is the only one who has held the office of Overseer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
