Christianity in Africa

Origins of Christianity Christianity came from Judaism and originated in Jerusalem.

Early Civilizations in Africa Early civilizations were highly developed. In 300s AD, Christian missionaries from Egypt introduced Christianity to Ethiopia. Later is spread to other areas of Egypt and Sudan.

Lalibela Lalibela was a powerful emperor of Ethiopia. He believes God told him to build 11 church buildings out of rock. Because of this most Christians in east Africa live in Ethiopia.

In Central Africa When countries such as French, Spanish, and Portuguese colonized central Africa they brought with them Roman Catholicism and Protestant Christianity.

Southern Africa Europeans brought the religion of Christianity to Southern Africa. As a result, millions of people in Southern Africa are Christians.

Mixing of cultures A lot of traditional tribes of Africa believed in spirits that roam the earth and have divine power. After Europeans came and brought Christianity, some people in Africa have a blended practice of Christianity and traditional beliefs.

Questions What is Christianity? Where did it start? How did it move into Ethiopia? How did it reach Central Africa? How did it reach Southern Africa? What has happened to traditional beliefs of people living in Africa after the integration of Christianity?
