Cette étude est un bref aperçu de l'histoire d'une organisation missionnaire spécialisée dans l'aide aux amaZioni d'Afrique australe. Le mot "amaZioni" est tiré du mot zoulou qui signifie "le peuple de Sion". Cette organisation missionnaire a d'abord été connue sous le nom de Mission Mahon, avant de devenir Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA). ZEMA entretient des relations étroites avec l'Église chrétienne catholique de Sion, fondée par John Alexander Dowie en 1896. Les missionnaires de ZEMA utilisent cette relation avec l'église de Zion pour se faire accepter par les dirigeants de l'église amazioni, qui eux-mêmes remontent à l'église catholique chrétienne de Zion. Le chercheur tente de présenter une brève histoire de l'Église catholique chrétienne de Sion, fondée par Dowie dans l'Illinois, aux États-Unis. Il inclut un historique de la création de l'Église catholique chrétienne de Sion en Afrique du Sud et se concentre sur les personnages les plus importants qui ont été influencés par Dowie en Afrique du Sud. Il s'agit de Johannes Buchler, Pieter le Roux et Edgar Mahon, ce dernier étant le fondateur de la Mission Mahon.

Este estudo é um breve resumo da história de uma organização missionária especializada em ministrar aos amaZioni da África Austral. A palavra 'amaZioni' é tirada da palavra Zulu que significa 'o povo de Sião'. Esta organização missionária foi inicialmente conhecida como a Missão Mahon e mais tarde tornou-se nos Ministérios Evangélicos de Sião de África (ZEMA). A ZEMA tem uma relação estreita com a Igreja Católica Cristã de Sião, fundada por John Alexander Dowie em 1896. Os missionários da ZEMA utilizam esta relação que têm com a igreja de Sião para serem aceites pelos líderes da igreja amaZioni que, por sua vez, remontam a sua história à Igreja Católica Cristã de Sião. O investigador tenta apresentar uma breve história da Igreja Católica Cristã de Sião, em Illinois, EUA, fundada por Dowie. Inclui uma história do estabelecimento da Igreja Católica Cristã de Sião na África do Sul e centra-se nas personagens mais importantes que foram influenciadas por Dowie na África do Sul. Trata-se de Johannes Buchler, Pieter le Roux e Edgar Mahon, este último o fundador da Missão Mahon.

Questo studio è una breve panoramica della storia di un'organizzazione missionaria specializzata nel ministero degli amaZioni dell'Africa meridionale. Il termine "amaZioni" deriva dalla parola Zulu che significa "il popolo di Sion". Questa organizzazione missionaria era inizialmente conosciuta come Mahon Mission e successivamente è diventata Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA). La ZEMA ha una stretta relazione con la Chiesa cristiana cattolica di Sion, fondata da John Alexander Dowie nel 1896. I missionari della ZEMA sfruttano questa relazione con la Chiesa di Sion per farsi accettare dai leader della Chiesa amaZioni, che a loro volta fanno risalire la loro storia alla Chiesa cristiana cattolica di Sion. Il ricercatore tenta di fornire una breve storia della Chiesa cristiana cattolica di Zion nell'Illinois, USA, fondata da Dowie. Include una storia della fondazione della Chiesa cristiano-cattolica di Sion in Sudafrica e si concentra sui personaggi più importanti che furono influenzati da Dowie in Sudafrica. Si tratta di Johannes Buchler, Pieter le Roux e Edgar Mahon, quest'ultimo fondatore della Missione Mahon.

Diese Studie gibt einen kurzen Überblick über die Geschichte einer Missionsorganisation, die sich auf die Betreuung der amaZioni im südlichen Afrika spezialisiert hat. Das Wort "amaZioni" stammt aus dem Zulu-Wort und bedeutet "das Volk von Zion". Diese Missionsorganisation war zunächst als Mahon Mission bekannt und wurde später in Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA) umbenannt. Die ZEMA hat eine enge Beziehung zur christlich-katholischen Kirche von Zion, die 1896 von John Alexander Dowie gegründet wurde. Die Missionare der ZEMA nutzen diese Beziehung zur Kirche von Zion, um von den amaZionischen Kirchenführern akzeptiert zu werden, die ihre Geschichte selbst auf die christlich-katholische Kirche von Zion zurückführen. Der Forscher versucht, eine kurze Geschichte der von Dowie gegründeten christlich-katholischen Kirche von Zion in Illinois, USA, zu geben. Sie umfasst eine Geschichte der Gründung der Christlich-Katholischen Kirche von Zion in Südafrika und konzentriert sich auf die wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten, die von Dowie in Südafrika beeinflusst wurden. Es handelt sich um Johannes Buchler, Pieter le Roux und Edgar Mahon, den Gründer der Mahon-Mission.

This study is a brief overview of the history of a missionary organization that specializes in ministering to the amaZioni of southern Africa. The word ¿amaZioni¿ is taken from the Zulu word meaning ¿the people of Zion¿. This Mission Organization was first known as the Mahon Mission and later became Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA). ZEMA has a close relationship with the Christian Catholic Church of Zion that was founded by John Alexander Dowie in 1896. Missionaries of ZEMA use this relationship that they enjoy with the church in Zion to gain acceptance by the amaZioni church leaders who themselves trace their history back to the Christian Catholic Church of Zion. The researcher attempts to give a brief history of the Christian Catholic Church of Zion in Illinois, USA that was founded by Dowie. It includes a history of the establishment of the Christian Catholic Church of Zion in South Africa and focuses on the most important characters who were influenced by Dowie in South Africa. These were Johannes Buchler, Pieter le Roux and Edgar Mahon, the latter being the founder of the Mahon Mission.

"As engaging as it is provocative. . . . Sullivan's book should be read closely by liberals as well as conservatives." -- Jonathan Raban, The New York Review of BooksOne of the nation's leading political commentators makes an impassioned call to rescue conservatism from the excesses of the Republican far right, which has tried to make the GOP the first fundamentally religious party in American history. Today's conservatives support the idea of limited government, but they have increased government's size and power to new heights. They believe in balanced budgets, but they have boosted government spending, debt, and pork to record levels. They believe in national security but launched a reckless, ideological occupation in Iraq that has made us tangibly less safe. They have substituted religion for politics and damaged both.In this bold and powerful book, Andrew Sullivan makes a provocative, prescient, and heartfelt case for a revived conservatism at peace with the modern world, and dedicated to restraining government and empowering individuals to live rich and fulfilling lives.

In this book Andrew Sullivan examines Oakeshott''s transition from his original emphasis on philosophy as providing what was ultimately satisfactory in experience to his later emphasis on practical life. This satisfaction is best achieved by a fusion of the modes of poetry and practice, leading the author to examine OakeshottΓÇÖs view of religious life as the consummation of practice in its most poetic incarnation. The book also examines how the conception of practice is applied in OakeshottΓÇÖs political writings, focusing on the notion of civil association.
