Abstract
This article surveys the origins, development and extent of Ethiopianism (part
of the African Initiated Church Movement [AIC]) in Africa which was widespread
throughout Africa during the ‘high’ imperial and missionary era (1880-1920)
which is the main focus of this article. However, they appear to have a number
of common features – response to colonialism, imperialism and the missionary
movement, the response of nationalism in the political sphere and Pan-Africanism
linked to Ethiopianism in the religious sphere. This article seeks to explore these
sometimes indistinguishable features, through selected examples, in a novel
way as a Pan-African movement.
