HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE LANDS OF MY TOIL: PROF. M. M. NINAN The kingdom of Dotawo The kingdom of Dotawo started to break up over the next 150 years. The last Christian king, Joel, fell in 1484. Joel represents one of the last recorded kings of Christian Nubia. He is known from a graffiti in the Cathedral of Faras, the inscription in the Church of Tamit, the letter from Jebel Adda, which is dated to 1484 and an inscription from nearby Church. Alwa (Aloa)Isolated The southernmost Christian kingdom of Alwa survived successive attacks in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1450 a missionary to Ethiopia wrote this about Nubia: "The people are neither Christians, Muslims or, Jews, but they live in the desire of being Christians."The recorded history indicates that very few Nubians converted to Islam. Christianity began to die out because of internal weaknesses in the Churches and not because of the external attacks of Islam. The missionary Avares wrote of Sudanese who came to Ethiopia from Alwa: "While we were in (Ethiopia) there came six men from (Alwa) as Ambassadors to the King, begging him to send them ministers and monks to teach them. He did not choose to send them."This was the last we heard of the Church in Northern Sudan. An island of Christianity in a sea of Islam, isolated and cut off - they appealed to their Christian neighbours in Ethiopia. Tragically, this help was refused. 68
HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN THE LANDS OF MY TOIL: PROF. M. M. NINAN CHAPTER EIGHT BATTLE OF OMDURMAN Gordon of Britain, Mahdi Movement and Kitchener Major-General Charles George Gordon CB (28 January 1833 – 26 January 1885), also known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British Army officer and administrator. He saw action in the Crimean War as an officer in the British Army. However, he made his military reputation in China, where he was placed in command of the "Ever Victorious Army," a force of Chinese soldiers led by European officers. In the early 1860s, Gordon and his men were instrumental in putting down the Taiping Rebellion, regularly defeating much larger forces. For these accomplishments, he was given the nickname "Chinese Gordon" and honours from both the Emperor of China and the British. 69
