His depictions of the Trinity as a single figure with four eyes and three faces, an innovation unique to Latin America, would be later condemned as heretical in part because they resembled Hindu deities. The Sopo Archangels is a series of twelve painting, each featuring an archangel (three canonical, plus eight apocryphal, and one guardian) engulfed in a tenebrous (cloudy) background Gabriel - Strength of God: The archangel of divine salvation Guardian Angel - Company of God: The angel of children Rafael - Medicine from God: The divine healing Education • The first role, played by the Church in the New World was the evangelization. Each expedition carried a friar, who was in charge of the conversion of natives to the Catholic faith. Franciscans, Augustinians, Jesuits and Dominicans arrived in New Granada with the conquerors. Years later, when most of the indigenous communities had been converted to Christianity, the Church played an important role in educating the population. Several communities were distinguished by their desire to create institutions of education and evangelization. The Society of Jesus founded several schools, including the “San Bartolomé” School, and laid the groundwork for the creation of today's “Javeriana” University. Jesuit missions organized evangelization of the Indians. The missions were small communities that developed around the education and agriculture. In 1580, the Dominicans founded the University of Santo Tomas. Other communities, such as the Augustinians and Franciscans, were responsible for the evangelization of indigenous people in remote areas to urban centers.
