Quote:The World Book Encyclopedia has estimated that in 2002 Christians formed 40% of the continent's population, with Muslims forming 45%. In a relatively short time, Africa has gone from having a majority of followers of indigenous, traditional religions, to being predominantly a continent of Christians and Muslims.

Quote:Christianity in Africa began in Egypt in the middle of the 1st century. By the end of the 2nd century it had reached the region around Carthage. Important Africans who influenced the early development of Christianity include Tertullian, Perpetua, Felicity, Clement of Alexandria, Origen of Alexandria, Cyprian, Athanasius and Augustine of Hippo.

The spread of Islam into North Africa reduced the size of Christian congregations as well as their number, so that of the original churches, only the Coptic Church in Egypt, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in the Horn of Africa remain. The Ethiopian church profess its own distinct religious customs, a unique canon of the Bible and unique architectures. The Ethiopian church community in the Horn of Africa wasn’t the product of European missionary work, but it was founded prior to missionary work by any European countries.

And Huggy, the issue is that you jesus freaks are dying out and that is the really good news.  The sooner you fuckheads catch on to the con game the better off the whole world will be.

Unlike the doctrine, the buildings can be repurposed.  There is no useful purpose for your absurd shit.

Nobody's dying out, the neighborhood is being gentrified. You do know how gentrification works right?

*emphasis mine*

What your article is saying is that as more white people move into Harlem, they displace the black population because they can no longer afford to live there,as a result the churches are losing it's members.
