I think Paul and Peter made to Rome 1st. So I think it is part of Europe, thus Europe 1st. :)
"thus Europe 1st."
Far from it. India has among the world's most pristine Christian community at a time when Christians themselves were being persecuted in Judea. The community still exists in Kerala and are called the "Lesser Eastern Churches". Although they are not recognised as Christians by their Roman Catholics or Protestants counterparts. The Roman Church sees them as a sect of Hinduism and hence they too need to be (re)converted. Fact is they are the oldest of the Christians.
The European Roman Church is a much more recent thing as recent as their history.
