Also, the Ethiopian Church and Emperor Haile Selassie supported the most definitely extreme left wing "civil rights movement." You'd think if anyone could de-leftify civil rights it would be one of the oldest and most conservative churches in the world. But nope.
Perhaps surprisingly, the Ethiopian Church is one of the largest in the world. It is the largest of all the non-Chalcaedonian churches and the second largest church to use the term "orthodox" in its name (only the Russian is larger).
Yes. They even keep the Jewish dietary laws, which I hesitate to call “kosher” because I’m not sure if there’s been any split between them and Jews over what constitutes “kosher.” They’re also semi-Sabbatarian: they uphold Sundays as the day of the Resurrection (contra 7th-Day Adventists), but they also keep the 7th day.
