Back Sejarah Nusantara pada era kerajaan Kristen ID History of Indonesia during the era of Christian Kingdoms SIMPLE
Christianity was present in the kingdoms of the Indonesian Archipelago from the 16th century. The emergence of these kingdoms was driven by the increasing sea trade traffic with Christian traders from the Portuguese and Spanish empires.[1] By the 1800s, Christianity's expansion had slowed. In the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century the foundations of the Indonesian churches that exist today were laid, such as in the island of Java. During the war of independence, the church also contributed to community life. Churches of this day, such as Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI), Gereja Kristen Jawa (GKJ), Gereja Kristen Pasundan (GKP), Gereja Reformasi Indonesia (GRI), and Gereja Isa Almasih (GIA) has been assimilated into the daily lives of the people and has become part of the journey of the Indonesian nation to this day.[2]
