Chrislam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chrislam, or the The Will of God Mission or Ifeoluwa Mission (Ifeoluwa is a Yoruba word meaning "God's Love"), is a Nigerian syncretic religion which mixes elements of both Christianity and Islam. It was founded in the 1980s Lagos, Nigeria, by Tela Tella (also known as Holy Royal Highness, Holy Messiah, The Messenger, or Ifeoluwa, the Will of God). The sect recognizes both the Bible and the Qur'an as holy texts. Its members practice "running deliverance," a distinctive practice of spiritual running which members christen to Joshua's army that took Jericho, or the Muslim practice of circumambulating the Ka'aba.
