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?

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.
