Chirothesian Church of Faith

The Chirothesian Church of Faith, a Christian organisation emphasising healing and belief in natural religion, was founded in 1917 in Los Angeles by W. Grant Hess and D.J. Bussell. There have been several churches, including the Aquarian Church of Chirothesia, established since the foundation.

The name "Chirothesia" is based on an understanding of a pre-Greek character Chi (representing C with a dot), taken in its original meaning as "the place where God's law is taught", and from this combining the Greek chiro ("hand") and theos ("God") to mean "led by the healing hand of God".
