This article contributes to the continuing debate on gender equity in
the African Initiated Churches (AICs) and their leadership,
emphasising the united stand taken by women of the Zionist and
Apostolic wings of the AICs. The marginalisation of women and
patriarchy in the AICs is thus examined from the Zionist and
Apostolic perspective. Women in the AICs have initiated and
established their own churches, which has established a foundation
from which to interrogate male dominance in the Church and seek
better approaches that accommodate women. Contributions from
men are welcomed, provided these are made in support of women.
