Turkey has played an important part in the history of Christianity. The "Seven Churches of Asia Minor" were a series of congregations located near the Aegean coast. It was here that St. Paul visited, preached and built the early church. Their ancient names - Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodecia, and Thyatira are familiar from the New Testament's Book of Revelation.
