FYI, dude. Don't get too excited. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is almost 2,000 years old-- 1,500 years older than any of our American Protestant "denominations"-- Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Evangelical, etc.
This crocodile attack happened during a (heterodox) Protestant baptismal ceremony in Ethiopia.
This kind of Protestantism is a very recent (Western) phenomenon in the history of Ethiopia, which was the first (or second, after Armenia) kingdom in the world to adopt (Orthodox) Christianity as the official state religion in the early 4th century A.D.
Roughly half of the Ethiopian people today are still Coptic Orthodox Christians, 18% Protestant converts, and 33% (Sunni) Muslim. RC less than 1% (despite Mussolini's Italian incursion in the 1930s.)
The Ethiopian (Coptic) Orthodox Church was a branch of the Egyptian (Alexandrian) Coptic Orthodox Church for most of its 2,000 year history. There are about 60 million Ethiopian Orthodox Christians nowadays, (including a thriving Ethiopian Orthodox Church community in Denver, which recently bought my old American Baptist church building in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood.)

Thank you Willie. Don't forget about Ethiopian Jews. Some have emigrated/immigrated to Israel (help me with this) where many Ethiopian Jews are having a terrible time with discrimation and other abuses. |
