Abstract
As nativistic movements both the NBC and the ZCC do not
have programs designed for the spiritual needs of children.
This paper argues that the reason for this is to be found in
the history of the founding of the two churches. Since they
were founded to respond to the prevailing political and
ecclesiological oppression of the time, the two AICs left
the spiritual nurturing of children to their families, in the
hope that their needs in adulthood would cause them to
become full church members.
