💡 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.

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.

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.

⛪ Watch now as Black Jesus walks you through the foundation, faith, and deep significance of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Simon Reeve's Sacred Rivers
History, adventure and travelogue combine as Simon Reeve explores three of the world's major rivers: the Nile, Yangtze and Ganges. Through the stories of the people who live alongside these great waterways, he uncovers their vast influence, and reveals how they unite, and divide, some of the most extraordinary parts of the world. Travel from the twin temples of Abu Simbel to the Nile delta; down the Yangtze from the giant Buddha of Leshen to the Three Gorges Dam and on to Shanghai; and along the great mother Ganges in a world caught between ancient traditions and astonishing modernity. Full of wonder and breathtaking, magisterial landscapes, Simon Reeve's Sacred Rivers is a potent mix of revelation and hands-on adventure - a riot of colour, extraordinary spectacle.

Orthodox churches are beautiful and magnificent. They are definitely worth visiting. Are there specific rules of conduct though? How do we conduct ourselves in an Orthodox church?

Greek Orthodoxy has always been a bit of a mystery to me, and I wanted to get a clearer sense of what it's all about so I drove down to the Assumption Cathedral in Denver, Colorado and spent the morning getting answers straight from the source.
Huge thanks to Father Chris Margaritis for taking the time to hang out!
