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.

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.

You might be familiar with Eastern Orthodoxy, but where did it start and what do they believe in? In this short video we’ll dive into a detailed explanation of the basics of Eastern Orthodoxy, covering its origins, sacred texts, practices and beliefs, including about God and Jesus Christ.

Eastern Orthodoxy, is one of the oldest branches of Christianity. It traces its origins to the apostolic era and has a rich theological, liturgical, and spiritual tradition that emphasizes continuity with the early Church. Eastern Orthodoxy began in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, where Christianity first spread after the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Orthodox Church Life

"The Church is the earthly heaven in which the heavenly God dwells and moves."

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.

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.

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?
