The church grew by leaps and bounds in Africa. As a matter of fact, at one time in northern Africa, the church had over five hundred bishops. Another great thing that we know is that some of the great church fathers, the great minds of the early church were Africans; Tertullian, Origen, and Augustine were all Africans. If it wasn’t for Augustine, we would not have had great theologians like Calvin, because Calvin got a lot of his ideas from Augustine. Athanasius was another one—from Alexandria.
