Wonderful post about our African brothers. Thanks.

So, within two hundred years Christianity had traveled all the way to Ethiopia and established to the such a degree as to produce a work of art like this. But then the early Church was always strong in Africa, especially North Africa. Agustine and, I believe, Tertullian were both from North Africa.

......has been saved by a British charity.....
From what was it saved? Stolen is a more precisely accurate verb. Since it is 2000 years old, the manuscript is obviously revered and cared for.

Go to Youtube and search for “orthodox Ethiopian hymns” and enjoy. The Ethiopian church was probably started by the Apostle Mark. It is at least as old as the Roman Catholic church.
