      <description>Ethiopia&amp;#039;s Orthodox Tewahedo Church is one of the largest and oldest in Africa. &lt;br&gt;But there&amp;#039;s been a split within its ranks after three Bishops formed their own patriarchate they named &amp;#039;Oromia and Nations and Nationalities Synod’ last month. &lt;br&gt;The move led to weeks of unrest, divisions and violence in some regions.  &lt;br&gt;The government has banned rallies and restricted social media.  &lt;br&gt;But the fallout could still have ramifications for the Church itself and the country.  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;So, what&amp;#039;s behind this schism in the Ethiopian Orthodox church?  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Guests:  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Father Alemayehu Desta - a Priest at the Holy Trinity Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Texas.  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Arega Getaneh - a Theologian specializing in Ethiopia’s extensive religious groups.  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Tewodrose Tirfe - Chairman of the Amhara Association of America. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Subscribe to our channel: &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe" target="_blank" class="hash" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Follow us on Twitter &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AJEnglish" target="_blank" class="hash" rel="nofollow"&gt;https://twitter.com/AJEnglish&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Find us on Facebook &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera" target="_blank" class="hash" rel="nofollow"&gt;https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Check our website:  &lt;a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/" target="_blank" class="hash" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.aljazeera.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Check out our Instagram page: &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/" target="_blank" class="hash" rel="nofollow"&gt;https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;#Ethiopia #EthiopianOrthodoxTewahedoChurch #EOTC #EOTC_Under_Attack #ORTHODOX_UNDER_ATTACK #orthodoxunderattackinEthiopia</description>

      <title>Orthodox Church Life  Church Etiquette</title>

      <description>Orthodox Church Life &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;The Church is the earthly heaven in which the heavenly God dwells and moves.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;An Orthodox Church is that part of God’s creation which has been set apart and “reclaimed” for the Kingdom of God. Within its walls, the heavenly and earthly realms meet, outside time, in the acts of worship and Sacrifice offered there to God. Angels assist the Priest during the Divine Liturgy, and Saints and members of the Church Triumphant participate in the Services. The Blessed Theotokos, the Mother of God, is also present and, of course, our Lord Jesus Christ is invisibly present wherever two or three gather in His Name, just as He is always present in the reserved Eucharist preserved on the Holy Table of most Orthodox Churches. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Given these very significant spiritual realities, we should always approach an Orthodox Church with the deepest attitude of reverence. Even when passing an Orthodox Church on foot or in a car, we always cross ourselves out of respect for the presence of God therein. It is, indeed, unthinkable that we should ever pass in front of an Orthodox Church without showing such reverence. Therefore, it is obvious that we must approach our meeting with the heavenly realm during Divine Services with careful and proper preparation.</description>

      <description>Greek Orthodoxy has always been a bit of a mystery to me, and I wanted to get a clearer sense of what it&amp;#039;s all about so I drove down to the Assumption Cathedral in Denver, Colorado and spent the morning getting answers straight from the source. &lt;br&gt;Huge thanks to Father Chris Margaritis for taking the time to hang out! &lt;br&gt;This video literally happened because there are people on the Internet who&amp;#039;ve decided to support this channel. They, no doubt, don&amp;#039;t agree with me about every single thing in the Bible and Christianity, but they overlook that and help make this channel happen anyways and that means a ton to me.  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;You can support the channel at patreon.com/tmbh &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Thanks to top supporters like Christian Grover, Sarah Sims, Alex, Paul Vermeulen, Tyler Reed, Frank Phillips, Micah Owens,  &lt;br&gt;Jake Purvis, David Coutcher, Chris Nolte,  &lt;br&gt;Jonathan Paz, Seth C Tucker, JR, Damon A.

      <description>💡 What makes the Ethiopian Orthodox Church so unique—and why has its ancient wisdom been overlooked for so long? In this episode of the Black Jesus series, we explore the rich traditions, history, and biblical depth of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian institutions in the world. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Black Jesus reveals how the Ethiopian Church preserved sacred texts, such as the Book of Enoch and Jubilees, long before they were excluded from Western Bibles. This church’s legacy is deeply rooted in Africa’s spiritual identity—and Black Jesus brings that truth to light. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;From rituals to hidden scriptures, the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition holds powerful insights into the life of Christ, the apostles, and early Christian history—insights that align with the message of Black Jesus and challenge mainstream narratives. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;⛪ Watch now as Black Jesus walks you through the foundation, faith, and deep significance of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- &lt;br&gt;Welcome to Bible Truth Unveiled! ✨ &lt;br&gt;At Bible Truth Unveiled, we uncover the hidden truths of the Bible and reveal the powerful history, wisdom, and faith that connect us to our spiritual roots.
