ለምን የአፍሪካ ቀኖች በኦርቶዶክስ ለእፍሪካ ውህደት ማኅበር ላይ እንዲከበሩ አስፈለገ?


በስመ አብ ወወልድ ወመንፈስ ቅዱስ አሐዱ አምላክ አሜን!

በፌስቡክ ላይ ያለው ኦርቶዶክስ ለእፍሪካ ውህደት ማኅበር ዋና ዓላማ ኦርቶዶክስ ተዋህዶ ሐይማኖትን ለአፍሪካውያን የዋሐን መስበክ እና ማስተዋወቅ አፍሪካውያንም የኦርቶዶክስ ተዋህዶ ሐይማኖትን እንደ እናት አድርገው የጋራ የመሰባሰቢያ ጥላ እድትሆናቸው ለማድረግ እና የጋራ የድህነት መንገድ፣ የጋራ ዓላማ መዋደድ እና መፈቃቀር በአፍሪካ ሕዝቦች መካከል እንዲኖር ጥንታዊ ያልተበረዘ ያልተከለሰ በመጀመሪያው መ/ክ/ዘመን የነበረው የሐዋሪያት ስብከት የሚገኝበት የኦሬንታል ኦርቶዶክስ ቤተ ክርስቲያናት ናቸው። የኦሬንታል ኦርቶዶክስ ቤተ ክርስቲያናት አባላት የሆኑ ሀገሮች 6 ሲሆኑ እነርሱም፦ ኢትዮጵያ፣ ኤርትራ፣ ግብፅ፣ አርሜኒያ፣ ሶሪያ እና ህንድ ናቸው።
ከእነዚህ ከላይ ከተጠቀሱት አቢያተ ክርስቲያናት መካከል 3ቱ በአፍሪካ ምድር የሚገኙ ሲሆኑ የሌሎቹ ከአፍሪካ ውጭ ላሉት እንደ እናት የሚታዩ እና የኦርቶዶክስ ክርስትና ዋና ማመሳከሪያ ናቸው። ስለዚህ አፍሪካ የኦርቶዶክስ ክርስትና እናት እና ጠባቂ የአደራ ባለቤትም ናት ብሎ ለመደምደም ያስችላል። እውነቱ ይህ ሆኖ ሳለ በሳይንሳዊ እና ቴክኖሎጂካዊ እድገት የአፍሪካ ሀገራት ከዚህ ግባ የሚባል እድገት ባለማሳየታቸው በአውሮፓውያን እና በምዕራባውያን ዘንድ የጨለማው አህጉር እየተባለች ስትጠራ ብሎም እንድ ቅርጫት ዳቦ ለቅኝ ግዛት ሲቀራመቷት እና በውስጧ የሚገኘውን የሰው ሀይል እና የተፈጥሮ ንብረቶቿን ሁሉ ዘርፈው በመውሰድ ለሀገራቸው መደለቢያ እና ማሳደጊያ አድርገው እስካሁን አፍሪካ ከራሷ በተወሰዱት ሀብቶች ሳይቀር ተመልሳ ጥገኛ እንድትሆን አንድነቷን አጥታ ከቅኝ አገዛዝ ነጻ ከወጣች በኋላም ቢሆን ከእነዚህ መሰሪ ሀገራት የግፍ ጨዋታ ነጻ ልትሆን ከቶ አልቻለችም።
ይህ ማኅበር እነዚህ መሰሪ የአውሮፓ ሐገራት ለየዋሃን የአፍሪካ ሕዝቦች ‘ሐይማኖት” እንካችሁ በለው የሰጧቸው በግልፅ እና ‘ህጋዊ” (Official) በሆነ መንገድ ዝርፊያ እና ግፍ የተከናወነበት መርዝ የተቀላቀለበት ‘ሐይማኖት” መሳይ ግን ሐይማኖት ያልሆነ ነገር ትተው አፍሪካዊ የሆነ በአፍሪካውያን የተሰበከ የመጀመሪያው መ/ክ/ዘመን የሐዋሪያትን ሐይማኖት እንዲቀበሉ የሚያስተዋውቅ የሚሰብክ እና የአፍሪካን ሕዝቦች በኦርቶዶክስ ተዋህዶ ቤተ ክርስቲያን ስር ለማሰባሰብ ያለመ ማኅበር ነው።
ከዚህ ባሻገር ግን ይህ ዓላማ እጅጉን የተሳካ እና ከረጅም ጊዜ ስራ በኋላ ምናልባትም ከምዕተ ዓመት በኋላ ብዙሐኑ የአፍሪካ ሕዝቦች የኦርቶዶክስ ተዋህዶ ቤተክርስቲያን ተከታዮች ከሆኑ በሕዝቦቹ በራሳቸው ተነሳሺነት ተፈጻሚ ሊሆን የሚችል ከነፍስ ድህነት ባሻገር ሕዝቦቹ በአንድነት ቁመው በምድራዊ ህይወት ሊኖር የሚችለውን የአህጉሪቱ በሌሎች ዓለማት የሚደርስባትን ብዝበዛ እና ሽርኘራ ለመቋቋም ወደ አንድነት (ውህደት) ለመምጣት ይህ ማህበር ግንባር ቀደም ሚናውን ሊጠቀሙበት ይችላሉ። ይህ ግን የመጀመሪያው ዓላማ እጅግ በሰመረ ሁኔታ የተሳካ ሲሆን የሚመጣነው።
ማኅበሩ የተመሰረተበት ዓላማ ከሙሉ በከፊሉ ከረጅሙ ባጭሩ ከላይ የተገለጠው ሲሆን በዚህ ማኅበር የሁሉም አፍሪካ ሀገራት ዜጐች አባል መሆን እና ጠንክሮ መስራት አስፈላጊነቱ የማያጠያይቅ ነው። ስለዚህ የሌሎች የአፍሪካ ሀገራት ዜጐችን ትኩረት ለማግኘት መስራት ወሳኝ የማኅበሩ እንቅስቃሴ ተደርጎ ይቆጠራል። ይህንን ግብ ለማሳካት እና በዙ የሌሎች የአፍሪካ ሀገራት ዜጎችን በማኅበራችን ለማካተት በኦርቶዶክስ ለእፍሪካ ውህደት ማኅበር መገናኛ ገፅ (Group Wall) ላይ እና በኦርቶዶክስ ለእፍሪካ መጦመሪያ ገፅ (Blog) ላይ እያንዳንዱን ሀገር የትኩረት ቀን ተሰጥቶት እንዲታሰብ ታቅዷል። ይህንን የእያንዳንዱን የአፍሪካ ሀገር የትኩረት ቀን በዚህ ማኅበር መሰጠቱን እንዲያስተውሉ የማኅበሩ አባላት የሚያውቋቸውን የትኩረት ቀን የተሰጠው ሀገር ዜጎችን በኢሜይል በፌስቡክ በአካል እና በተለያዩ መንገዶች በመጋበዝ የድርጊቱ ተሳታፊ እና ተዋናዮችም ለማድረግ ታቅዷል።
እነዚህ የትኩረት ቀናት ከመድረሳቸው በፊት ልዑል እግዚአብሔር በቸርነቱ እና በርህራሄው እናቱ ቅድስት ድንግል ማሪያም በምልጃዋ እና በጸሎቷ ቅዱሳን ሁሉ በተሰጣቸው ቃልኪዳን እና አማላጅነት እንዲራዱን በያለንበት ሆነን ስለ ስራችን የቻልነውን ያህል ጸሎት እንድናደርግ የጸሎት ሳምንት የድርጊት መርሃ ግብር ተነድፎ ለማኅበሩ አባላት ግብዣ ተልኳል። እንግዲህ አባላቱ በሚችሉት ቋንቋ የሚችሉትን ጸሎት ለዚህ ስራ የተቃና ይሆን ዘንድ የአንድ ሳምንት ጊዜ ውስጥ የተወሰኑ ደቂቃዎች ጊዜ እንድማይነፍጉን ባለ ሙሉ ተስፋ ነን።
በዋናው የድርጊት መርሃ ግብራችን ግን አባላቱ በ54ቱ ሀገራት ተከፋፍለው ለአንድ ሀገር በአማካይ 50 ሰው ተመድቦ በተመደበበት ሀገር ላይ መረጃዎችን ያሰባስባል። በአንድ ሀገር ላይ የተመደቡትን ሰዎች የሚያስተባብሩ እና የሚያስተናብሩ የተሰበሰበውን መረጃም በጥቅም በማዘጋጀት የሚሰሩ ለእያንዳንዱ ቡድን (ሀገር) ከ5 ያላነሱ አስተባባሪዎች ይኖሩታል። መረጃ በሚሰበሰብበት የጊዜ ክልል መረጃዎች በአባላቱ ተሰብስበው ለአስተባባሪዎች ይልካሉ። አስፈላጊውን ስራ እንዳጠናቀቁ አስተባባሪዎች ሁሉ ከገለጡ በኋላ የሀገራቱ የትኩረት ቀናት በይፋ ይጀመራል። ለእያንዳንዱ ሀገር የትኩረት ቀን የተሳካ ይሆን ዘንድ ከ5ቱ አስተባባሪዎች ቢያንስ የተጠቀሰው ሀገር ዜግነት ያላቸው ሰዎች 3ቱ እንዲሆኑ ጥረት ይደረጋል። እውነትነት ያላቸውን ቀደምት መረጃዎችን በማሰባሰብ እና የተሰበቡትንም በማረም ከፍተኛ ጠቀመወታ ስለሚኖራቸው የማኅበሩ አባላት ይህንን ሀላፊነት ሊወጡ የሚችሉ የሌሎች አፍሪካ ሀገራት ዜጎችን በመጠቆም እንዲሁም በመጋበዝ እንዲተባበሩን ሳንጠይቅ አናልፍም። አባላቱም ምላሻቸውን እንደማይነፍጉን ባለ ሙሉ ተስፋ ነን።
አስፈላጊ የሆኑ የአሰራር ቅደም ተከተሎች ወቅቱን ጠብቀው ስለ ሚተላለፉ አባላት በንቃት እንዲከታተሉ እና ይህንን የተቀደሰ ዓላማ ያለው የድርጊት መርሃ ግብር በሚችሉት ሁሉ ንቁ ተሳትፎ በማድረግ ከዳር እንዲያደርሱ ጥሪያችንን እናስተላልፋለን።

African Countries days in the Orthodox for the Unification of Africa!

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ONE GOD AMEN!
African Countries to be celebrated in the Orthodox for the Unification of Africa!

How are dear members? Here I am writing you to remind you what I have written last time for you. I have told you that I will share some tasks to collect information of the tradition, the people, the language, the economic system, and other related things for each African country.
To do so, the members of the group will be divided into each country to work on. So we will have about 54 groups for each sovereign country. Each group will collect reasonable and acceptable information on their respective country assigned on. After the data is collected, there will be 3 to 5 persons for each group that are going to be the center of communication amongst the group members that are going to be assigned from the volunteers to take over these assignments given a name coordinators of the respective group. The coordinators will discuss and collect all the data from the members of the respective group and discuss on it, and then reorganize to avoid repetitions and unnecessary things.
After all the coordinators report that they have more or less finished organizing the information, the schedule to discuss about each country on our group wall and the blog about each country will be released and all the group members are notified. One country will have two days to be advocated and to be discussed about. That means the program of discussing about African countries will take about not less than 110 days which is 3 months and 20 days. Some special countries which showed more interest from their nationals in the discussion will be given about three days and in such way, the program may be extended by 12 days and it will take 120 days. But this is conditional that it will be heavily depend on the participation of the group members and the all the invited nationals of that country that is under discussion.
For example if we are going to take two days as “Ghana on Orthodox for the Unification of Africa”, prior to the these dates, the members of the group that will be assigned on Ghana will prepare themselves and they will communicate with each other and select the best group wall posts, links, blog essays, photos, videos, and so on about Ghana. After they have set these matters, they will also give assignments to all other members of Orthodox for the Unification of Africa to invite Ghanaian Nationals to attend the event and see, discuss, and correct what is said on our wall.
We will do so for three major purposes in my view:
1. When other African Nationals look that our group is celebrating their country in such a manner, they will get pleased and they will join us for the purpose we started to do.
2. We will have tremendous information about Africa and we can use it for future detailed proposals that we are going to design.
3. We will know more about African concerns and will create healthy and well developed networking among African Nationals which can mark the starting of our Unification.
So we can lend our small time and contribute what we have. But bear in mind that drops of water will constitute an ocean. Likewise, our small contributions will add a remarkable change together with what others added.
Before we start our main tasks and before the members are divided into subgroups, we will have an event to pray for our works as recommended by some of the group members. In our event of prayer, we will also exchange some additional procedures to be followed for the above mentioned purpose and we will enumerate how much people will get involved.
I hope with the help of God, the event of Prayer will be created in the coming week and you all will be invited. After the Prayer event the actual event follows that needs the deep involvement of every member.
Hopefully, you all will join us in this great job of advocating the group and its purpose for other African Nationals to draw the distributed effect of all country nationals.
Let God and His mother be with you all!

እነሆ ስንዱ እግዚአብሔር ያቀረበውን የምድር በረከቶች ተጠቅመሽ እግዚአብሔር የሰጠሽን እጅ አንቀሳቅሰሽ ፣ እግዚአብሔር በሰጠሽ አእምሮ አስበሽ ሠርተሽ ...... አግኝተሻልና እግዚአብሔርን አመስግኚ።


አንድ ጎደኛዬ በቅዱስ ላሊበላ ሥዕላት ያጌጤ መድሃፍ፤ በገጹ መሃል ላይ በቢጫ መደብ በጥቁር ቀለም "መጽሃፈ ብልሃት" ተብሎ የተጻፈበት መጽሃፍ ይዞ አየሁኝና መጽሃፉን ተውሼ ማንበብ ጀመርኩኝ።መጽሃፉ በሙሉጌታ ዘርፈ የተጻፈ ነው።ርዕሱ አትኩሮቴን ስቦታል ማንም ሰው ብልሃትን ማግኘት የሚጠላ የለምና ። መጽሃፉን ማንብብ ቀጥያለሁኝ። መጽሃፉ ለዝግጁዋ ስንዱ የተጻፈ ነው።ማን ናት ይህች ዝግጁዋ ስንዱ?ዝግጁዋን ለመሆንስ ምን ያስፈልጋል?አእምሮዬ ውስጤን ጠየቀው ምልሱንም የማወቅ ጉጉቴ ይበልጥ ጨመረ።የመጀመሪያው ገጽ ላይ ደመቅ ብሎ ጠቆር ባለ ቀለም "እግዚአብሔርን መፍራት የጥበብ መጀመሪያ ነው" ይሚለው ጥቅስ ተጽፎል ።ማንበቤን አላቆረጥኩም መግቢያውን እንደሚከተለው አነበብኩት።
መግቢያ
ሰው በኑሮው እግዚአብሔርን ሲለምን መልካም ነው።ሰዎች በውድቀት ያልሆኑት ነገር የለም። ሰው በኑሮው ሰውን ሲለምን መልካም አይደለም።አንዲት አገር ስለኑሮዋ እግዚአብሔርን ስትለምን ትባረካለች፤ሌላ አገርን ስትለምን ወድቃለች።ኢትዮጵያን ምን ነካት? ምነው ሰዎቿስ በደዌ የተጠቁ፣ በግብጽ መቅሰፍት የተቀሰፉ፣ቀን እንደጨለማ ሆኖባቸው የሚዳብሱ፣ የሰባውን በሬያቸውን ብልት ያጡ ፣ሰማይ ሊወድቅባቸው ያንዣበበባቸው ውንዞችም የደረቁባቸው ሆኑ? ለዚህ ጥያቄ መልሱ የተሰጠው የዛሬ ሶስት ሺህ አመት ነው። ኢትዮጵያ ከውደቀችበት ልትነሳ ትችላለችን? አዎን ትችላለች፣ ለዚህም መልሱ የተሰጠው የዛሬ ሶስት ሺህ አመት ነው።ካለፉት 150 አመታት ወዲህ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች በውድቀት ያልሆኑት ነገር የለም ።ከዚህ ውድቀቶች ውስጥ አንዱ ሌላው ዓለም የሚያውቀው የእደጥበብ ሥራ ለነሱ እንቆቅልሽ መሆኑ ነው። የኢትዮጵያ ስዎች ልብስ በመርፌ ይሰፋሉ፤ መርፌውን መስራት ግን አይችሉም። በድምጽ ማጉያ ይናገራሉ ፤ድምጽ ማጉያውን መስራት አይችሉም። መኪና ይነዳሉ፤ መኪና መስራት አይችሉም። በአውሮፕላን ይበራሉ፤ አውሮፕላን መሥራት አይችሉም። ብረት ይቀጠቅጣሉ በረት አያቀልጡም። አያቶቻቸው ያውቁት የነበረው ሙያ እንኳን ለልጆቹ እንግዳ ነው። የአክሱምን ሃውልቶች የሠሩ ኢትዮጵያውያን ናቸው። አሁን ያሉት ኢትዮጵያውያን ናቸው። አሁን ያሉት ኢትዮጵያውያን ምን እንደሆነ አያውቁትም። እንደ ገንዳ ተፈልፍለው የተሠሩ የአክሱም ንጉሦች የሚቀበሩበትን የሚያሰደንቁ ድንጋዮች የገጠሙ ኢትዮጵያውያን ናቸው፤ አሁን ያሉት ኢትዮጵያውያን ድንጋዮቹ እንዴት እንደተሰሩ፤እንዴት እንደተገጠሙም አያውቁም።

ይልቁንስ የውጭ አግር ሰዎችን ምን እንደሆነ ንገሩን እያሉ ይለምናሉ።በላሊበላ የኢየሩሳሌምን ከተማ ከአንድ አለት ፈልፍለው የሠሩ ኢትዮጲያውያን ናቸው፤ አሁን ያሉ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች የውጭ አገር ሰዎችን እባካችሁ አባቶቻችን የሠሩት ምን እንደሆነ ማዎቅ የሚያስችል አእምሮ የለንምና ኑ ንገሩን እያሉ ይማጸናሉ።
አባቶቻቸው የሚያስቡ የነበሩ የአሁኖቹ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች ምን ተወሰደባቸውና ማሰብ አቆሙ?አንድ ሰው ወላጆቹ የተውለትን ቅርስ በዓይኑ እያየ ምን እንደሆነ የማያውቅበት ምክነያት ምንድን ነው? ለመሆኑ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች ሰፈራቸውን ውብ አድርገው መያዝስ ለምን ተሳናቸው?ሠርተው የሚበሉት ነገር ማግኘትስ ለምን አቃታቸው?እያልኩ ሳመላልስ ፣አእምሮየም እረፍት ስላጣ ፣ የችግሩን መንሰዔና መፍተሄ አውቅ ዘንድ፣የሰሎሞንን ያህል ባይሆንም ከሰው ደረጃ በታች ለወደቁት ኢትዮጲያውያን ወገኖቼ ትርፍ የሚሆን ጥበብን እንዲያድለኝ እግዚአብሔርን ለመንኩት።ሰማኝም። የእሳት ልጆች አመድ የሆኑበት የምክነያት ጎርፍ እየጠራ ይታየኝ ጀመር።
ኢትዮጲያውያውን እንኳን ሌላ ወላጆቻቸው የተውላቸው ቅርሶች ምን እንደሆኑ ማዎቅ እስኪሳናቸው ድረስ የወደቁበት ምክነያት ብዙ ነው።በአስኳላ ትምህርት የሰለጠኑ ሰዎች የኢትዮጲያ ችግሮች ምንጮች ናቸው ብለው የሚዘረዝሯቸው ነጥቦች ከምክነያቶቹ ውስጥ የሉበትም።እንዲያውም ከምክነያቶቹ ውስጥ ዋነኛውም ባይሆን አንደኛው የአስኳላ ትምህርት አሰጣጥ ዘዴ እና የትምህርቱ ዓይነት እራሱ ነው።የአስኳላ ትምህርት እውቀት የሚገኝበት ቢመስልም እውቀት እራሱ በአስኳላ ትምህርት ሊደበቅ እንደሚችል የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች ማስተዋል አለባቸው።

ስለኤሌትርክ ትምህርት ወይም ደግሞ ስለ ግድብና ተርባይን የሚማር ሰው በኢትዮጲያ ከፍተኛ ትምህርት ቤቶች ብዙ ሂሳብና ቲዮሪዎችን ይማራል።ብዙ የሂሳብ ልምምድና የሳይንስ ቃላቶችን በማዝጎድጎድ ትምህርቱን አጠናቀቀ ተብሎ የሚደገስለት ተማሪ ዋናውን ቁምነገር እሱም ኤሌትሪክ እንዴት እንደሚመነጭ የምትገልጸውን ቁልፍ ሚስጢር ወይም ብልት ሳያውቅ ነው።በኢትዮጵያ የአስኳላ ትምህርት የሚማሩ ሰዎች ከትምህርቱ ለኢትዮጵያ የሚአጠቅመውን ብልት ሳያገኙ እንዲያው ትርፍና ፍሬ በማያስገኙ ዲስኩሮች ጊዜያቸውን ይገፋሉ።በዲስኩሮች ብዛትም ለእድገት ቁልፍ የሆነችው ብልት ከነሱ ትደበቃለች።በኢትዮጲያ የአስኳላ ትምህርት የላይኛው ጣራ ድረስ ሳይቀር የተማሩት ሁሉም ባይሆኑ ኣብዛኞቹ ከትምህርቱ ያገኙት የጋራ ሙያ ቢኖር ለትችት ችኩልነት ፣ ለሙያ ስንኩልነትን ነው።በዚህም ምክነያት ሥራ ሲሰሩ አይታዩም።ሌሎችንም እንዳይሰሩ የሚያደርጉበት ብዙ አመል አብቅለዋል።የተሠራ እንኳን ቢገኝ ለወገናቸው ጥቅምን ሳያስገኙ ያባክኑታል።ያለፈትን አርባ አመታት ታሪክ እንኳን በመቃኜት ያስኳላ ትምህርትን የቀሰሙ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች በያሉበት ስለአመጽ የሚሰለፍ፣ስለምርት የሚያንቀላፋ መሆናቸውን ማየት ይቻላል።ይህ ወቀሳ አይደለም።እነዚህ ሰዎች የተማሩትን ሆኑ እንጂ በራሳቸው አላጠፈም።መፍትሄው ያለው ትምህርቱን ከማስተካከል ነው።የዚህ መጽሐፍ ዓላማም ይህ ነው።
የዚህ የአንደኛ መጽሐፍና የሚከተሉት መጻሕፍቶች ዓላማ የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎች ከልጅነታቸው ጅምሮ በሙያና እግዚአብሔርን በመፍራት እንዲያድጉ ማድረግ ነው።ከሙያ ውስጥ እግዚአብሔርን መፍራት ከጎደለ ሙያው ለጥፋት ይውላልና ሙያ እግዚአሔርን ከመፍራት አንድም ጊዜ ሊነጠል አይገባውም፡፡ሙያ ደግሞ ሥራ ነው እንጂ ሌሎች ሰዎች ሲሰሩ ማየት አይደለም።የኢትዮጵያ ልጆች እንደ ዳዊት በገና እንዲደረድሩ ማድረግ ነው።ይህ መጽሐፍ የተለያዩ በውጭ አገር የሚሠሩ፤ ኢትዮጵያውያን ግን ሊሠሯቸው እንግዳ የሆኑባቸውን የሙያ ውጤቶች የአሠራር ብልሃት ማንኛውም ኢትዮጵያዊ ሊገባው በሚችል መንገድ አቅርቧል።እነዚህ ብልሃቶች በትምህርት ቤቶች በትምህርት እንዲሰጡና የኢትዮጲያ ሰዎችም በየቤታቸው እንዲሰሯቸውና እንዲገለገሉባቸው ወይም ለገበያ እንዲያቀርቧቸው ነው።በኢትዮጵያ አንድ ልጅ ቢያንስ በሰባት ዓመቱ አከባቢውን ማጽዳትን፣ በአሥር ዓመቱ ራዲዮን መሥራትን፣በአስራ አራት አመቱ የዉኃ ማጣሪያ መሥራትን ፣በአስራ ስድስት አመቱ ሞፈርና ቀንበርን አሻሽሎ ማረስን፣በአስራ ስምንት አመቱ ሰረገላ መሥራትን በግብር ማሳየት አለበት።የሙያዎቹ አይነቶች ይለያዩ እንጂ፣የኃላ ኃላ አንድም ሳይቀር እያንዳንዱን ኢትዮጲያዊ ሰዎች የሙያ ባለቤት ማድረግ ነውና የእግዚአብሔር እርዳታ ይጨመርበት።

Deir Sultan-the Ethiopian Monastery

Deir Sultan is an ancient Ethiopian Monastery that situated on the roof of the Holy Sepulcher church in Jerusalem. This monastery has been long in dispute between the Coptic Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and it symbolizes our last stronghold anywhere near the Holy Sepulcher church. As recalled, Ethiopians have lived in the Holy Land since the 4th century A.D. and this monastery has been in their possession throughout the years but more decisively it can be said in the last couple of centuries.

Hence when the status quo (in Latin "matters that were remain as they are," which became the convention by which all churches abide) was confirmed and adopted in the 1862-3. We have evidences especially that provided by western travelers that the monastery was in the hands of the Ethiopians, and later on documents that were obtained from the Turkish archive in Constantinople
and which were examined by a Russian professor of law early in the 20th century, established the Ethiopian ownership of the monastery.

In 1961 and on the basis of these documents a Jordanian court ruled in favor of the Ethiopians but the decision was overturned in 40 days due to Egyptian pressure on Jordan. In 1970, after the above-mentioned territory came under Israeli control, the Ethiopian monks it is claimed switched the locks to the two churches (St. Medhanie Alem & St. Michael) that have been locked for 80 years (1890-1970), and then the Coptic bishop took the matter to Israeli court who decided in 1971 that the keys are to be returned to the Copts. Nevertheless the government reserves the right to appoint a committee that will look into the matter and till the committee reaches conclusions the keys should remain in Ethiopian hands and no conclusion was reached since then.

I wanted to give you a clear picture of the matter and ask for any advice and cooperation from your side to see how this matter can be resolved and followed by international law experts and the Ethiopian Diaspora so as to make them understand the gravity of this matter to the Ethiopian nation and people for generations to come.

Please Let’s work together and save our Monastery.

When will end the misery of our brave monks?
…ነገር ግን፥ ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ሁላችሁ አንድ ንግግር እንድትናገሩ በአንድ ልብና በአንድ አሳብም የተባበራችሁ እንድትሆኑ እንጂ መለያየት በመካከላችሁ እንዳይሆን በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም እለምናችኋለሁ።ወንድሞቼ ሆይ፥ በመካከላችሁ ክርክር እንዳለ ስለ እናንተ የቀሎዔ ቤተ ሰዎች አስታውቀውኛልና።ይህንምእላለሁ።እያንዳንዳችሁ። እኔ የጳውሎስ ነኝ፥ እኔስ የአጵሎስ ነኝ፥ እኔ ግን የኬፋ ነኝ፥ እኔስ የክርስቶስ ነኝ ትላላችሁ።ክርስቶስ ተከፍሎአልን? ጳውሎስስ ስለ እናንተ ተሰቀለን? ወይስ በጳውሎስ ስም ተጠመቃችሁን?... 1ኛ ቆሮ 1 10-13

PLEASE SAVE OUR MONASTERY!!!!!!

Christians believe the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, is to be built where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected.
Deir Sultan Monastery lies above the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Monastery has been home to Ethiopian monks for centuries. Deir Sultan has been a site of an extended and at times violent turf war between Ethiopian and Egyptian Coptic churches. Hence, this centuries old Monastery is near collapse. And it’s future rests upon us - all Ethiopians.
Let's save our history! Lets save our treasure. See the link

ORTHODOX FOR THE UNIFICATION OF AFRICA


 









  







IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ONE GOD AMEN!

When this group was created, it was being thought to achieve the following two aims. These were:
1. To help the African people the true way of Salivation that they never have been offered before. When you look into the rest of the world, it has been mad not to follow the true way of Salivation and intentionally left it behind and get into an other way of life which they termed Transformation in the fifteenth century (which bore the world of Protestantism) and so similar phenomena has happened in case of the fifth century (which bore the world of Catholics) i.e (451 AD). But Africans have been forced or at least they have not been offered the true way of Salivation i.e the religion of the Apostles that God Himself has handed over to them. We have also accepted the religion of our forefathers through unbroken flow of true religious exercises and tradition which is simply the true reflection of the Bible. So this pure truth should be at least offered to African people to whom no one has offered before.
2. African people are getting very huge loses of its natural and man made resources due to the mischievous actions the western world and other developed countries. The boundary lines built up by the will of the colonial powers has left Africa in conflict with each other for centuries and this irritating condition may perpetuate for the coming centuries as well as we are looking it now. No only the boundary lines but also other Economic, Political, Socio-Cultural and Psychological make ups that have been constructed by the European colonial powers has left its scar on the present deteriorated condition of Africa. I have pinpointed the only few past actions that made Africa the victims of the Western World. But not only the past action, at present days also, these developed world powers are acting as "mediators" over the African Issues and they are playing their negative roles on the developments of the good relations between Africans. They are influencing Africans to to have their own trade links and other strong relations to force Africa to be the indirect colonial empire of the developed world. If Africans could have unity, they would have got good opportunities to have an influencing power over the world about their own internal issue. They could get supplements of each other for the solution of a problem one region of Africa might be found at the other corner of the continent for example in natural resources and industrial and agricultural products. This in turn would produce an other ideal market for the products and resources of the continent. For unity to be effected the people at all should have one common identity and they should have one common ancient heritage. This ancient heritage should not be symbolic to inscribe the strongest sense of unity among the people. No other value or ancient heritage of Africa can bring life changing orders (life patterns) and heart felt senses inscription of unity better than religion. Religion is life at all. So it is preferred religion to any other Ancient Heritage for African people to have in common. Now let us come to the point how Orthodox should be the common Ancient Heritage of the African people. The following are some of the listed reasons that I have told to myself while I thought the concept of Unifying Africa:

A. Orthodox Religion was the most ancient religion of those religions having huge impact on the people of the world. It is simply practiced by the ancient Egyptians till today, Ethiopians till today, Libyans till they are affected by the Muslim world, and other North African Countries. This condition presents Orthodox Christianity the most ancient of all religions which have brought huge impacts on the lives of the population of the world.
B. Orthodox Christianity is established by the will of the African people without any power influences of the foreigners. When we look the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church establishment, it traces back to the ancient times more than 4000 years ago. Ethiopians had been knowing God as early as the man kind History and they were exercising worship of God before the Birth of Jesus Christ for about 2000 years. 1000 years without written commandments of God and 1000 years with given written laws of God. They have had the books of the Old Testament and they were waiting for the coming of Christ to Earth according their knowledge they have got from the Books of the Prophets and their Predictions. When Jesus Christ was born in the Middle East, they have gone to Him and brought Him Tributes and bowed to Him as stated in Isaiah:” And they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring forth gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the Lord." They have accepted Him the True God and the true Son the Father. After 34 years later, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians has gone to Jerusalem to worship and brought the news of Gospel to his fellow citizens. This was not the only beginning to worship God, but it was actually the beginning to the Era of Christianity in Ethiopia. But the greatest expansion of Gospel in Ethiopia could have been effected the fourth century. The people have accepted Christianity happily with their full will. When we come to Egypt, Saint Mark has left the base of the Gospel in Egypt and this flowing truth could have cross centuries and it has reached at our ages without being distorted and with living tradition of the first century of the Apostles. So only Orthodox Christianity is established by the full will of the African people and largely by their own actions to expand Gospel in the lands of Africa. But other religions are introduced to Africa forcefully by war having an other mission behind.

C. In the doctrines and canons of Orthodox Christianity true values of unity and sacrifice are preached under the Commandment of Love. The commandment of Love orders one to pay great scarifies up to and including giving up ones life for the sake of the other. The is the value to effect the true unity and heart felt Love to one another. It includes all the ethical values including the hard working traditions and avoidance of wickedness. These values coming following the commandment of Love are the true values that can bring these huge numbers of tribes under the common way of Unity and Shared common senses. In none of other religions these values are preached or at least practiced. But under Orthodox Christianity we have so many figures of Love and true mirror reflections of Gospel.

So now we are expected first to aim at valuing the African people by telling and helping them to know these pure facts. After this step, we can move forward to bring the whole Africa to get unified. The first is more difficult and also has to proceed first. So we will work visualizing the second one as well. So contents of the Spiritual and Religious Matters are to be posted for the group.

The issue of communication media language, we can use English. But since the present members of the group are Ethiopians and Amharic speakers, we can use also Amharic as a media language. Later when there are a number of other African Countries as members, we can use the language of the largest members additionally.

Other matters how we are going to proceed and related issues need to be defined by the group members using some discussion topics. We should strongly motivate group members to add values from their minds. The cumulative outputs outshine the individual outputs.

We have to strongly motivate other Africans to be members and active participants in our group. We should have diversified members to get the recent information and distributed effects.

These are some of the introduction that I thought for the time being. When I have some other things, I will notify you on time. You yourself can also broaden the starting idea into more meaningful proposals. But it does not urge you instantly. You can take long time and come up with more beautiful ideas. Our starting may be put into practice at the time the next generation, but we have to at least put the framework for having that.

God Bless African People!!!!

NOTIFICATION OF GROUP RESPONSIBILITY

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ONE GOD AMEN!

To:
1. Befikadu Niggussie (Elect Group Administrator)
2. Selam Adera (Elect Group Officer)
3. Derese Tadesse (Elect Group Officer)

Subject: NOTIFICATION OF GROUP RESPONSIBILITY

Dear Group Elects:
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on the behalf of the group members for your results as you are going to handle more responsible and fruit bearing position in the group of ORTHODOX FOR THE UNIFICATION OF AFRICA. It is merely the position for which you are to play active role in managing the group and motivating the group members to add their beautiful additions for the common good of the Africans in general and the Orthodox Religion in particular.

Secondly, the group is only the beginning. Its target and vision need to be defined very well for its far reaching achievement. What is expected from you as group admin and officers is to coordinate the members for fruitful results.

We should work hard together to develop the group from symbolic group to an actual group. In addition to coordinated endeavors that we are going to do, we will set our searching engine to find the beautiful minds that can unit Africa under the umbrella of one common way of Salivation which has double face benefit for the African People. The first being unified which brings what we commonly call “Unity is Strength”. The second is Eternal Life for all people which extraordinarily crosses the boundary of death in the philosophy of our religion, Orthodox. So we will search the beautiful to give them the leadership for this purpose.

Having this great aim, I would like to tell you only the existence of Hard Works that need your hands and I am telling you to prepare yourself Spiritually, Psychologically, and Morally for the next biggest steps the group need to move forward. Those hard works needs the permissions of the members which in turn brings discussing with the group members to set out one common idea and purpose.

Although the responsibilities awaiting us are the greatest of all of our works before, we are going to relay our wisdom on Spiritual Wisdom which God is the true source, relay on God who, the true source of all power and strength, will be our strength and power. We believe innocently portrayed plans to be assisted by Him or at least reveals His will on to our works on how we should act. So it is immaterial to think over the hard works that is waiting for us as we are with the Almighty God and all His Saints.

I need reply of confirmation from you the elects for the final grant of the corresponding position. It will be considered as your promise at least to act as much as you can and as innocent as you can.

Happily and hopefully waiting for you Responses!
Menore Tekeba, your sinner and little brother!

Some Points About Your Life!

IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY TRINITY ONE GOD AMEN!

Hi! All! How are you? I am fine, thanks to the Almighty God. How is life ?
My dear compatriots! Please read it all with great patience! I have written you this by thinking that it may add some value for your life.
Have a Nice Reading!

What God have for you....

Hope you have started your spiritual exercise to be better. Now it is time. As we do for other works we do exercise in spiritual life as well. There is no perfection without exercise in all respects.

Note: Words in double quotation marks are Amharic words.

God directed His holy servants to do an exercise in their lives. For example, "Mussie", first he was very angry man for he had killed the Egyptian in the quarrel with the Hebrew man. But later God taken him to the "Midyam" desert and made him very humble person after he has trained him a lot in his life. Later it was written that "Mussie" was the most humble man on Earth.

Other Saints reached the perfection in their spiritual life by exercising this life.

But What Spiritual Exercise mean?

Spiritual Exercise means an activity that can never be interrupted and that should be done through out our life. It is itself the life of Christianity. When we are doing spiritual exercise, we are trying to be loving, humble, modest, compassionate, trustful, faithful, helpful for others and always thinking the good.

We should always think as we are with God and God is perfectly merciful that He wants us to be merciful; God loves mankind and that He wants to love even our enemies. God wants us to be abided by His love and He wants us to love others as much as we love ourselves.

Spiritual Exercise is needed for us as the weakness of man kind goes with him throughout his life. In the way of spiritual life there are enormous obstacles that we may be halted from living in that holy path. But the perfect faith saying "God is merciful and He wants me to come again for He loves me" should be meditated in our mind and get into repentance ("Nisiha").

But here we should not do sin by saying that I will get into repentance after making this sin. But if we could not control ourselves and get involved in sin, repentance is a vital instrument that we can come back to the right.

How can we do spiritual exercise?

The life of Christianity is itself spiritual exercise. But what makes sense here is how to exercise means how we are to see the progresses that we attained. We are only to add the follow up means to see we are growing or at least we are not retarding by any means. This gives our lives of Christianity the face of spiritual exercise.

When we do spiritual exercise, we have to list down our weaknesses in one side and those strong sides we want to have in our life in one side. Then, we have to define the period of effective change (for example one or two months) and start to avoid one from the weaknesses and start to have one from Strong Sides we want to have in that period.

By this way we are going to avoid six bad characters and have six good characters in a year if we set the period for example as two months. How great the change is!!!!!! Let God help us in bringing this great but very gradual change!

After that period is elapsed (is finished), we have to evaluate the effectiveness of our exercise and the changes we have brought. We have to evaluate ourselves without forgiving for ourselves. Here there may not be 100% change as we wanted. But even small change is great. What we should think here is that we must always see ourselves in those points that we have exercised to bring positive progress and we should at least avoid negative progresses at all.

Having those changes in hands and trying to make them more accurate, we have to start the next step of exercise to avoid the next weakness and have the next strong character in our lives. In these sets of periods that you will never forget about your exercise and your existence with that graceful, Loving, Merciful and perfect father and His Mother as well as with all Saints, with out having noticed your growth, you will come to be more valuable, more polite, more considerate, more helping, more influential, more loving to all those people surrounding you with out any partiality, discrimination.

When you think about your growth under the umbrella of God, as He is Loving God He will care for you in all your ways as the mother cares for her small baby, you will not be tested to the degree you can not pass. The baby does not know who is caring for it. Rather it continues to play and move. Like wise, we do not how the hands of God covers us from the hands of evils that want to harm or throw poisonous swards. Rather we continue to think kindly in our mind and do what we have thought as much as possible.

Obstacles are mandatory in every respect. We may be trapped by the ways of sins. But the sins should not be made by thinking that God will forgive us. If we commit the sins in the lose of control for ourselves or unknowingly, we should come to him and tell our sin to his representative on Earth the father of confession in church ("Betechristian") i.e "Nisha Abat".

We have to note very well that we should keep ourselves from the ways that lead us to the situations in which we may loose control of ourselves and get involved in sins. This is the better solution. "Protection is better than cure."

Hopefully you will like to exercise having set your own period of effective change. Your periods should not be to large for you will postpone your exercise to the last weeks of your period letting you have reason of wickedness. It should not be too short for you will not bring permanent spiritual growth. But the appropriate length of the period can be set from your long experience of spiritual exercise.
