All dioces and sunday school unions including Oromiya region dioces are on the side of canonical holy Synod of EthiopiaThe Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church the second oldest institution in Ethiopia next to the state, after what’s widely condemned as “illegal appointment” on Sunday morning of 26 Bishops in Haro Beale Wold Church located in Woliso town, Sodo Dache district, South West Shoa zone of Oromia.
Led by His Holiness Abune Sawiros, Archbishop of South West Shoa Diocese, together with two other Archbishops, the appointment of 26 bishops: 17 bishops for dioceses located in the Oromia region, and nine bishops for dioceses outside Oromia took place in Haro Beale Wold Church, without the involvement of the Holy Synod, creating widespread shock and anger among many of the church’s followers.
His Holiness Abune Mathias I, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was the first to issue an emergency meeting on the same Sunday, calling the appointment of the bishops an “illegal” act done without the approval of the Holy Synod, and said that “a great event that has targeted the church” has taken place unexpectedly, without the knowledge of the Synod, and without discussions.
“We all heard it now, today,” he said, and summoned all Bishops of the Church both from the country and around the world for an emergency meeting which is expected to take place this week.
The Patriarch then called on the government to assume its responsibility and ensure security by taking necessary protections on matters surrounding the issue; he has also called on all members of the church, including priests and its followers “wherever you are” to “calm down and follow the matters with “prayers and thoughts.”But those who are behind the decision to appoint the Bishops are undeterred and are threatening to split from the Church if the Holy Synod failed to recognize the Church. Now All diocese and Sunday school unions including Oromiya region diocese are on the side of the canonical holy Synod. they are submitted supporting return documents to the holy synod of Ethiopia. Coptic Orthodox Church already declared that supports the canonical patriarch of Ethiopia..
