This is a historical study of the religious imagination of an African Instituted Church (AIC) concerning the concept of unity in the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S). Barely some years into its establishment in 1925, division broke out between the two founders (Moses Orimolade and Christiana Emanuel nee Akinsowon). Ever since this division, numerous divisions have also taken place that have further divided this church into different factional bodies. After many failed attempts to bring the different factional bodies together, there began to be a glimpse of hope as some groups of persons began to gather together as a unification body for the hitherto divided church in the 1980s. Thus, this study traced the historical emergence of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, linking it to the need for a unified Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church. It also examined the different beliefs and organisation of the church.

The household decision on the number of children to have is crucial not only for the family but also for the economic development of nations. The decline in fertility rates in recent years has implications for the demographic behaviour and labour force of the economy. This paper examines the factors influencing the fertility decision i.e. the number of children of households in India using 2011-12 Indian Human Development Survey-II data applying the Poisson regression estimation method. The estimated results show that household income, women’s education and age at marriage and contraceptive use drive the fertility decision of households in India. Though the effect of women employment on fertility is positive, the combined spousal income depresses fertility choice, exhibiting the price effect of women earnings. The incidence rate ratios indicate that uneducated, working and urban women are expected to have higher fertility. An increase in the age of women at marriage, contraceptive use, and household income are expected to reduce the number of children, while non-Muslim women are expected to have fewer children relative to Muslim women.
