As missionaries worked to convert slaves, African traditions mixed with the religion brought over by Europeans. The Protestant church was associated with black nationalism in Jamaica, aiming to improve the lives of blacks who were governed by a white minority during colonial times. Today, the church plays an important role in society by providing services to people in need. There are also several church operated educational systems including a Seventh-day Adventist one which incorporates Northern Caribbean University. (en)
