Friends,
I noticed I have some readers from Ethiopia.
That country (& that area of Africa) was once home to a strong center of Christianity. The Ethiopic Church was a leader in early Christianity.
The centuries and the Islamization of Africa were not entirely kind to the Ethiopic Church.
BUT, it is still a strong Church. And it is one of many Orthodox Churches, which I believe Protestants owe thanks to.
It was Orthodox Churches which taught for centuries that there could be more than just one ‘church.’ And I think that example helped lead our early protestant and baptistic brethren on their journey to reforming the Catholic Church.
IMHO.
That is.
Here is a photo of one of the Churches in Ethiopia:
But, I must admit, I have always liked this one more:
The rock-hewn Church of Saint George in Lalibela, Ethiopia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

About Wayne
Where do I start? Well, this blog at www.luvsiesous.com is the latest of 3 blogs I have written over the last 7 years.
I am a retired Oracle Instructor.
My friends are starting my old company back up.
I have been blogging for most of the last decade. Google destroyed my first blogging account. So, I moved to Myspace - soon I was consistently in the rankings. MySpace gave me a virus (bad one). So, "I moved" to FaceBook. I do not like Facebook changing their settings all the time .... And it is NOT blogger friendly.
So, finally, the blogging addiction came back ....
But, stick around and read about me. Comments are appreciated. You will teach me something. Not nice comments are sometimes edited. I have let some stand in the effort to be fair to others. But, this is my site .... comment and tell me something.
I love to start churches.
I think America 1950 was much better than America Version 2.0 is .... So, I really hope someone inspires our next generation ....
