  • Two Revolutions Behind: Is the Ethiopian Orthodox Church an Obstacle Or Catalyst for Social Development?’1
    Scriptura 81 (2002), pp. 378-390 ‘TWO REVOLUTIONS BEHIND: IS THE ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AN OBSTACLE OR CATALYST FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT?’1 JA Loubser University of Zululand Abstract As part of a project to investigate the spiritual and moral roots for an African Renaissance the paper employs an inter-disciplinary approach, investigating the intersection between religion and social development. This is done with reference to developmental issues as they become manifest in Ethiopia. An analysis of the social role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is accompanied by a critical review of some theories and strategies for social development. Since Ethiopia is one of the major beneficiaries of US and international aid the paper also considers options for sustainable social development. 1. Introduction This paper is the direct result of a confrontation with the poverty and desperation experienced during a field trip to Ethiopia.2 While investigating the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition as part of a university project on the moral and spiritual roots for an African Renaissance, we did not expect such wide-scale poverty and human need in a country that is noteworthy for its contribution to global culture. Of the 80% population of the planet marginalized by the global economy, the people of Ethiopia count among those who are the worst off.3 The plight of its circa 60 million people with more than 80 different ethnic groups is highlighted by the following: 440 000 new cases of HIV infection (with the virulent heterosexual C-strain) were estimated for 1999;4 vast sections of the predominantly rural population are without access to basic medical care; seasonal famine regularly affects large sections of the population (4 million Ethio- pians are dependent on foreign aid for food);5 half of the children under five are estimated to be malnourished.6 outside the major towns and cities the transport infrastructure is in serious disrepair.

  • The Knowledge of the World
    9 The Knowledge of the World An Amharic novel called Dertogada became a runaway hit while I was in the field. It was popular enough that some of my friends in Zege were able to recount the plot without having read it: The hero, Dr. Miraje, raised in the monastery of Kibran Gebrel, just off the Zege shore, must travel to America to find the great Ethiopian rocket scientist Engineer Shagiz, whose work has been the basis of the American space program, and bring him back to Ethiopia. It emerges that there is a secret Ethiopian spy base under Lake Tana armed with state-of-the-art spy planes and submarines, and Shagiz is needed to help run the place and make the Ethiopian secret service the equal of the CIA and Mossad, which also have large parts to play in the story. These basic elements of the plot have entered widely enough into the general consciousness that I and other friends have had people report them to us quite earnestly as fact. The novel is a remarkable document for several reasons. It reads like a postco- lonial inversion of a Dan Brown thriller, with an extra helping of picaresque farce. It confronts the aporia between Ethiopian Orthodox Christians’ sense of the depth and richness of their own culture and the seeming inadequacy and underdevelop- ment of the Ethiopian nation-state on the international scene, and tries to build a synthesis that will pull the Tana monasteries and spy planes into the same picture. It also contains multiple instances of cross-dressing, face transplants, and mis- taken identity that Elizabethan theatregoers in England would have had no trouble recognizing.

Focusing on the Diaspora EOTCs, this article discusses critically the causes that gave way to the split within the Church into two Holy Synods—one in Ethiopia and the other in North America—while setting apart some of the major social, political and economic dynamics that contributed to both the division and expansion. The paper contends that the Ethiopia‟s government intervention in the Church‟s affairs has been at the heart of the problem, and thus the division within the Church is a consequence of the ethnically-politicized social milieu that the regime has created since it came to power in .

Centre for International Health Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry University of Bergen, Norway 2008 iii Abstract Problem statement: The regime of antiretroviral therapy (ART) which transforms HIV/AIDS from a deadly disease into a possible chronic condition has become increasingly available for a growing number of patients in sub-Saharan Africa. As the regime requires a strong level of adherence, there is a rising anxiety due to recent research which shows that a big proportion of patients who started on ART, are no longer in the program after two years. These findings underline the need to understand what kinds of challenges are faced by these patients related to the specific context in where they are situated. This study aims to look into the Ethiopian context where ART has been provided free of charge since 2005. Even though Ethiopia shares many characteristics related to adherence found in other sub-Saharan countries, the healing method by holy water in the Orthodox Church in relationship to ART is particular and is an issue for debate.

  • Alexandra E.S. Antohin Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of The
    EXPRESSIONS OF SACRED PROMISE: RITUAL AND DEVOTION IN ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX PRAXIS Alexandra E.S. Antohin Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2014 I, Alexandra E.S. Antohin, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the notion of sacred promise, a grounded devotional category for Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. It is based on ethnographic research among urban parishes seeking to gather the often dispersed memberships of local Orthodox communities in Dessie, a city of a quarter million residents in north-central Ethiopia. The central thesis contends that the spaces and methods of engagement by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians are organized by the internal dynamics of archetypal promises. I consider the wide spectrum of social and ritual activities contained within the domain of “church” to be consistent with a developed socio-theological genre of “covenant”. Covenant is narratively defined as a dialogic of bestowal and responsibility and it is also expressed in performative, material, and associative dimensions. Starting from an investigation of the liturgical praxis of temesgen (the ethic of thanksgiving), each chapter explores variations of covenant: as unifying events of human/divine manifestation (e.g. feast days); as the honour of obligation within individual stances of paying respect on an interpersonal and meta-relational level, at church and during visits to mourning houses; and through customs of reciprocity by confraternities and the blessings such practices confer on the givers and receivers.

  • CRISTIANESIMO E ARTE in ETIOPIA La Cattedrale Cattolica Di Emdibir Musiè Gebreghiorghis, Dal 2003 Eparca Di Emdibir, Zona Guraghe E Wolisso in Etiopia
    CRISTIANESIMO E ARTE IN ETIOPIA La cattedrale cattolica di Emdibir Musiè Gebreghiorghis, dal 2003 Eparca di Emdibir, Zona Guraghe e Wolisso in Etiopia. Al suo ingresso in dioce- si ha trovato una chiesa bella e accogliente, dedicata a Sant’Antonio di Padova, ma spoglia e costruita in stile europeo. Trattandosi di una Eparchia e volendo seguire le indicazioni del decreto sulle Chiese Orientali, il Ve- scovo dapprima ha provveduto a una triplice suddivi- sione della chiesa secondo la tradizione etiopica. Poi ha curato la decorazione dell’interno. L’invito delle sue pareti spaziose a fare qualcosa per riempire il vuoto è stato irresistibile. Così ha invitato l’artista Melake Genet con suo figlio Qesi per eseguire gli affreschi, con temi e stile etiopico. Questo lavoro è durato ben sette anni. Ora la cattedrale cattolica di Emdibir risplende in tutta la sua magnificenza. Il Vescovo Musiè Gebreghiorghis ora si augura che essa risvegli un apprezzamento sem- pre maggiore del patrimonio culturale e artistico di una chiesa apostolica di matrice orientale in piena comunio- ne con la sede di San Pietro. Musiè Ghebreghiorghis, Eparch of Emdibir, Guraghe and Wolisso Zone, Ethiopia, ever since 2003. When he took over the pastoral ministry of diocese he found a beautiful and welcoming western style architecture church with spacious walls without paintings, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. As the Eparchy was of Eastern tradition and in compliance with the directives of the Decree on Oriental Churches, the bishop first worked on the threefold division of the Church in line with the Ethiopian tradition; then he decorated it with paintings.

  • Abune Paulos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Passes Away (Aug 16, 2012)
    Abune Paulos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, passes away (Aug 16, 2012) (MoFA August 17, 2012)- His Holiness, Abune Paulos, Fifth Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church, Ichege of the See of St. Tekle Haymanot, Archbishop of Axum and one of the seven serving Presidents of the World Council of Churches passed away today (August 16) due to an illness for which His Holiness had been receiving treatment for over the past week here in Addis Ababa. Abune Paulos was born in 1935 in Adwa woreda of Tigray region, and entered the Abba Garima Monastery as a young boy to train as a deacon, eventually taking monastic orders and being ordained a priest. He obtained his first degree in theology at the Trinity College in Addis Ababa, and subsequently studied for a second degree and his doctorate at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in the United States, and the Princeton Theological Seminary. He returned to Ethiopia after the revolution in 1974, and was appointed a bishop before being arrested and spending several years in prison. Released in 1983 he went into exile where he was raised to the rank of Archbishop in 1986. After returning to Ethiopia again after 1991, he was enthroned as the Fifth Patriarch of the Ethiopian Tewahdo Orthodox Church in 1993. Abune Paulos was a renowned scholar and peace advocate who worked on reconciliation between Ethiopia and Eritrea. He made the Church one of the major relief organizations in the country and showed keen interest in youth, women's issues and the problem of HIV/AIDS.

Background 1.1 Statistics Sources report that approximately 44 percent of Ethiopia's population adheres to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity (PHW 2013; Ethiopia Dec. 2008, 17; US 20 May 2013, 1), which is predominant in the Tigray and Amhara regions, but also present in Oromia (ibid.). In correspondence with the Research Directorate, Terje Østebø, an assistant professor at the University of Florida whose research focuses on inter-religious relations in Africa and Ethiopia [1], indicated that EOTC practitioners are mainly of Amhara and Tigray ethnicity, with some Oromo (Østebø 17 July 2014). Muslims make up approximately 34 percent of the population while Pentecostal and other Christian groups make up approximately 19 percent (US 20 May 2013, 1; Ethiopia Dec. 2008, 17).

  • Testimony of Berhanu Nega, Ph.D Associate Professor of Economics, Bucknell University Before the House Committee on Foreign
    Testimony of Berhanu Nega, Ph.D Associate Professor of Economics, Bucknell University Before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations June 20, 2013 “Ethiopia After Meles: The Future of Democracy and Human Rights” Good Morning Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Bass, Distinguished Members of the House Africa Subcommittee. Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today. It is indeed a great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to appear before you to discuss issues related to the future of Democracy and Human Rights in Ethiopia. 1. The State of Human Rights and Democratization in Ethiopia As you are aware Mr. Chairman, Ethiopia’s human rights record is abysmal by all accounts and continues to deteriorate. The current regime, which has been in power for the last 21 years, continues to engage in the systematic violation of international standards with regard to fundamental human rights. The most significant assault on human rights include restrictions on: 1) Freedom of expression; 2) Freedom of association and political rights; 3) Interference in religious affairs; 4) Ethnic cleansing against Amharas and the forced displacement of indigenous people from ancestral lands; 5) Manipulation of the justice system for politically motivated charges and trials Following the death of Meles Zenawi, many hoped that there would be an opportunity for an opening in the political space. However the current regime continues to flout international standards. Indeed, the climate post the much- 1 anticipated National Elections of 2005, widely acknowledged as the most contested election in Ethiopian history, culminating in bloodshed and vote rigging, has produced severe government clampdown on basic freedoms, particularly freedom of expression and association, increased police monitoring of peaceful and lawful activities, arbitrary arrest of human rights defenders, opposition leaders and attacks on civil society.

  • The Triumph of Belief 8, 2018 8, 2018 Sovereignty Is Not Just a Legal Framework

Many large groupings of people have expressed disillusionment and distrust in modern governance, and many have felt robbed by the manipulation of modern forms of ballot-box democracy. The search for answers, then, goes to the past as well as in understanding the promises of the future. Thousands of national and sub-national historical hierarchies retain their vibrancy and importance to social cohesion, as the reassertion of the importance of sovereignty, Westphalian or otherwise.
