Cherubim and Seraphim society

The Cherubim and Seraphim Society is a distinct religious movement within the broader Aladura tradition of Nigeria. Founded around 1925-1926 by prophet Moses Orimolade Tunolase and Christiana Abiodun Akinsowon, it emerged from dissatisfaction with Western religious practices and a desire for spiritual power.1

This society emphasizes divine healing and revelation, replacing traditional charms and medicine with prayer and spiritual guidance. It separated from the Anglican Church in 1928 and has since experienced further divisions, leading to numerous sections that have spread throughout Nigeria and into neighboring West African countries. Cherubim and Seraphim are also terms for celestial beings in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic literature, often described as winged attendants of God.123
