| | Sub-Sahara African Christianity: The Church among the Kongo |
 | | Christianity among the Kongo people, who lived and still live in what is now northern Angola and much of coastal Congo, began with the visit of Diego Cam, a Portuguese explorer, in 1484. |
 | | Cam invited several Kongolese to return to Portugual with him, and when he agreed to leave several Portuguese seamen behind to ensure that they were not being taken as slaves, they agreed. |
 | | AfonsoÕs son Henrique entered the church, studying in Portugual for thirteen years, and returning to the Kongo as a bishop, through not of Kongo, but as titular bishop of Utica in Tunis, North Africa. |
