===Historical Background=== | |||
Christianity in Angola began in 1491, with a Catholic mission in the São Salvador area. João I, Manikongo of the powerful Kongo Kingdom, converted to Christianity, and his son, Afonso I, also a Christian, became a well-known figure, reigning from 1509 to 1543.<ref> "Christianity in Angola", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Angola, accessed 17 March 2020.</ref> | |||
