Abstract
This paper reconstructs the genealogy of William Wadé Harris’ movement in Ghana, discussing the interaction of ideas, religious traditions, political con-straints and personal agency. My aim is twofold: to underline continuities between African Independent churches, Missionary churches, Pentecostal churches and traditional religion, on the one hand, and to illustrate the recurrent dialectic between rupture and continuity.
