'''Zoekerism''' (Amerikaens: ''Soeckerisme''; also alternatively spelled as ''Zoikerism'' in English), also known as the '''Church of Second Ascension''', or simply the '''Zoekerist Church''', is a religion that developed in [[South Tussenland]] during the 1860s. It is a syncretization of Protestantism and various traditional West African religious beliefs (most notably from Akan and Fon) as a product of the African diaspora in North America brought about by the transatlantic slave trade. It is considered a branch of Christianity practiced mainly by the Afro-American community in South Tussenland, [[Virginia]], [[Florida]]. Zoekerist communities also exist (to a lesser extent) in adjacent regions like [[Cuba]], [[Saint-Domingue]], and the West Indies. Adherents are known as '''Zoekerists'''.
