During the Middle Ages were sent to the church to convert

During the Middle Ages, various groups of people were sent to the church to be converted to Christianity. This primarily included pagans, Jews, and Muslims, as these religions were seen as "non-Christian" and in need of conversion. The Church believed that it was their duty to spread the message of Christianity and save souls. Conversion efforts were often carried out by missionaries who traveled to different regions and communities to preach the teachings of Christianity and encourage people to renounce their previous beliefs and accept Christianity as their faith. These conversion attempts were sometimes peaceful, with missionaries engaging in dialogue and persuading people to convert, while at other times, forced conversion methods were employed through coercion or even violence.
