Jehovah’s Witnesses: 1870

Jehovah’s Witnesses are a Christian denomination which is perhaps best-known for its door-to-door evangelization efforts. They began as a Biblical study group partly organized by Charles Taze Russell, who disputed many beliefs of mainstream Christianity such as the Trinity and the immortality of the soul. He began publishing the Watch Tower magazine in 1879, which led to the growth of the movement and the beginning of the distribution of religious material in earnest. Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Armageddon is imminent, and that God’s kingdom will be established on earth. Other beliefs include an objection to military service and blood transfusions.

Pentecostalism: 1906

The Pentecostal Movement is one of the largest and most significant religious movements of the twentieth century. It traces its origins back to 1901, when students at a Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, concluded that speaking in tongues was a definitive sign of baptism by the Holy Spirit. The official beginning of the movement is usually considered to be the Azusa Street Revival, a historic and ecstatic meeting led by William J. Seymour. Participants experienced dramatic worship services, miracles, and speaking in tongues. Pentecostalism emphasizes the joy of worship, and has grown drastically from its relatively recent beginnings. A 2011 Pew survey showed that Pentecostal and other charismatic Christians make up over a quarter of all Christians.

The Nation of Islam: 1930  (Les Black Muslims)

The Nation of Islam was founded by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad, who preached of the oneness of God and the importance of African-Americans embracing Islam as the religion of their African ancestors. The Nation of Islam believes in the Five Pillars of Islam, though it is not widely accepted as part of the Islamic faith. Elijah Muhammad succeeded Wallace D. Fard Muhammad as the head of the movement, which subsequently ran into legal issues due to the attempt at founding separate schools for members and advocating against serving in the military during WWII. The Nation of Islam remains an important movement in the religious landscape of African-Americans.
