One of the most ancient Christian communities in the world, alive today in the worship of our parish.
Our faith is the faith of the apostles, carried to Ethiopia in the earliest centuries of the Church and preserved without break ever since. We worship the one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, confessing Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man, united in one nature, one Tewahedo. We honour the Holy Scriptures, the Sacred Tradition, and the witness of the saints, including the ever blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
A few enduring truths that shape our worship and our life together.
The Holy Scriptures, the Creed of Nicaea, the early Ecumenical Councils, and the Sacred Tradition of the Church guide our faith.
The word Tewahedo means united. We confess the divine and human natures of Christ as perfectly united in the one incarnate Word.
The Holy Mysteries, the Divine Liturgy, fasting, almsgiving, and unceasing prayer form the rhythm of the Orthodox life.
For the full history, doctrine, and teaching of our Church, we invite you to visit the official site of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. There you will find rich resources on our apostolic origins, the conversion of King Ezana, the Nine Saints, our liturgical heritage, and the writings of the Fathers.
