Zion City and Dowie’s New World Rise North of Chicago
In 1892 John Alexander Dowie emerged as a dominant divine healer around Chicago, founding the Christian Catholic church and moving toward a theocratic Zion City on Lake Michigan. The town, nearing ten thousand residents, features a lace factory, bakery, publishing house, hotels, stores, and a full school system, with strict moral rules and leases that bind residents to Dowie’s doctrine and economic plan.
