💡 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.

#ethiopia #christianity #orthodoxy

Ethiopia's Orthodox Tewahedo Church is one of the largest and oldest in Africa.
But there's been a split within its ranks after three Bishops formed their own patriarchate they named 'Oromia and Nations and Nationalities Synod’ last month.
The move led to weeks of unrest, divisions and violence in some regions.
The government has banned rallies and restricted social media.
But the fallout could still have ramifications for the Church itself and the country.

So, what's behind this schism in the Ethiopian Orthodox church?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom

Guests:

Father Alemayehu Desta - a Priest at the Holy Trinity Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Texas.

Arega Getaneh - a Theologian specializing in Ethiopia’s extensive religious groups.

Tewodrose Tirfe - Chairman of the Amhara Association of America.

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.

I've had little contact with Orthodoxy over the years and, whether we think all the same things or not, learning about it now has been like unwrapping a present I didn't know I had. Thanks to Father Paul and to Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City, Utah for the hospitality and patience with all my questions!

Othrodox churches, or Eastern Orthodox as they are often called, have a lot of theology to cover in 2 minutes, but here's a quick and oversimplified rundown.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian denominations, with roots tracing back to the 4th century. It follows ancient traditions, including unique liturgies in Ge'ez, a Semitic language.

Why did a Baptist such as myself become an Orthodox Christian? In this episode, I walk you through my conversion process. In it, I go step-by-step, addressing each doctrine of Protestantism that I came to reject and why, as well as the issues I had that prevented me from becoming Catholic, finally to the point of accepting Orthodoxy as the fullness of the faith.
