Christian Fellowship Church
Christian Fellowship Church or Etoism. The main independent church in Melanesia, founded on New Georgia in the Solomon Islands in 1959 by Silas Eto (b. 1905). As a catechist-teacher in the Methodist mission, he developed deviationist practices from the 1930s, and, in disillusionment with staid mission forms, began his own true church. Despite incipient messianism concerning Eto himself, relations with Methodists, now in the United Church, were being re-established in the 1970s.
