Abstract
The article’s topic is the Nigerian churches of the Aladura group (as well as «The Brotherhood of the Cross and the Star which are compared to Aladura). These religious organizations are the striking examples of new religious movements that are composed of the elements of traditional spiritual culture of Africans and the elements of spiritual culture of Christianity. These movements, which take into consideration both spiritual and material inquiries of Africans, have become quite popular in Nigeria and beyond the bounds of the country.Realizing Nigerians’ spiritual needs, these movements offer both cult’s forms, and new forms of identity, which are preferred by Africans. In respect of realization of material inquiries these churches do not just promise prosperity, but also implement certain social programs in the spheres of healthcare, education and infrastructure. The increasing popularity of those churches encourages to these movements an authority that, in its turn, gives them a certain influence in the modern Nigerian public policy.
