Professor Thomas notes that typically the captives were taken to a church, where a catechist ​ — usually a slave himself — ​ spoke to the slaves in their native tongue about their conversion.
Professor Thomas ütleb, et tavaliselt viidi orjad kirikusse, kus õpetaja, kes oli tavaliselt ka ise ori, rääkis orjadele nende emakeeles uskupööramisest.
