Ethiopian Orthodox Church Condemns Violation of Agreement and Canon, Urges Unity”
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has issued a statement indicating that an agreement made by the fathers a few days ago has been violated, along with the canon.
The Holy Synod office released a statement regarding the matter today. Abune Abraham, speaking to his followers, reminded them that peace had been declared just two days prior. However, he noted that in the ensuing days, all that has been heard has served to further divide the church and create discord between fathers and children.
At around nine o’clock under the new name ‘#New_Synodos’, those related to the papacy and those who are not, as well as those related to the episcopate and those who are not, broke the agreement and the canon, thereby destroying them. This action effectively reinstated the old religion and laws that had been previously broken.
Their actions conveyed a message that their appointment is legal and will not be revoked in any way. However, this message is seen as a frivolous allegation that has more to do with politics than religion.
Instead of protecting the church and teaching the faithful, they are using power and force to create conflicts and control everyone. They are claiming that all of their thoughts are on an equal level, and the 25 ministers and priests from yesterday are still bishops.
At nine o’clock, they announced that they would not come all day, but they later entered their house of worship without notifying anyone. The church is watching silently, waiting patiently.
Therefore, the message being conveyed is that those who violate the law, break agreements, and use falsehoods to pretend to be true must stop this behavior and show some courage.

The EOTC lost its credibility when it went unresponsive when Abune Theophlos was executed by the Derg on the day of honor of The Trinity (Selassie) in 1979 . Abuna Theophlos went on hunger strike for 40 days and was willing to die but broke his fast when his cell mate, Bitwoded Zewde G/hiwot fell on his feet and begged him to do so. (Funny the Abune was executed on the same day that the President of Haile Selassie I University Lij Kassa W/ Mariam who was also the legal heir of the Oromo Kingdom of Leqa Quellem).
The Church did nothing when the head was “beheaded”. It is paying for that now up until the Church reinstitute itself once again by some miracle.
