Haile Selassie was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian who denied being the Messiah. Like David, he was a just and righteous king.

The Ethiopian monarchs were descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba:

I have encountered a number of Ethiopian Orthodox over the years. The encounters have always been pleasant. They have traditions and Traditions that are non-negotiable just as a number of other denominations. They also have a priesthood.

Interesting OP videos. This topic is a year old!
If i recall, MD or MN had at least one member who was part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church?
His username escapes me.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
