Why were slaves allowed to practice Christianity?
The evidence is that pagan slave-owners allowed their slaves to be Christians as long as this did not interfere with their duties. The favoured concubine of Emperor Commodus (180-192), Marcia, declared herself the patroness of the Christians. The Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) principal eunuchs, Lucian and Dorotheus, Gorgonius and Andrew, were Christians, as were some of the officers of the palace - this is the same Diocletian who later instigated the Great Persecution of 303-311. At first, Christians ruled that the pagan slaves of Christian slave-owners had to obtain the approval of their masters before they could become Christians. This was because Christian slave-owners had to allow their Christian slaves free time on Sundays, thus reducing their economic value. After the time of Constantine, this rule was abolished, as Christians sought to have the entire Roman Empire converted to Christianity.
