Christian Israelite Church
The Christian Israelite Church was founded in 1822 by John Wroe. History From 1822 to 1831, the church had its headquarters in the town of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, United Kingdom, which the church wanted to turn into a "new Jerusalem". Wroe's followers intended to build a wall around the town with four gateways. The wall was never constructed, but the four gatehouses were, as was a printing press. Popular opinion in Ashton-under-Lyne turned against Wroe when he was accused of indecent behaviour in 1831, but the charges were dismissed. The Church spread to Australia and the United States, where it is still active. Today there are groups of members meeting in Australia at locations including in New South Wales in the Sydney suburbs of and , the Central Coast region and in the Hunter Region; and in Victoria, in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.
