		The first non-white Christians came from among the slave population of the Cape, though it was not at all uncommon for slave owners to introduce their slaves to the Christian faith, but forbid their baptism, on the grounds that baptism effected their freedom.
		The English colonizers came on to the South African scene early in the nineteenth century, when the Afrikaners turned to the protestant English to avoid becoming a French Catholic colony when Napoleon conquered the Netherlands and with it the Dutch East India Company, which owned the colony at the Cape of Good Hope.
