    Actually, Christianity in Ethiopia dates from the 4th century and is not the result of European colonialism.

    Their Jesus usually looks pretty black.

      Yeah, that’s definitely an exception, though those depictions were often directly inspired by European artistic depictions. In Protestant Africa, the story is quite different.
