Dear Readers,
There is a strong belief that the ongoing turmoil in the Patriarchate will bring some changes for the Mother Church. But I know there are dozens who are skeptical about it. But lots of folks are optimists and saying, ‘’Now is the time for change’’. Here are five of the reasons why change is vital out of this visible taut:
1. the ones [in both sides] who’re in the forefront of the clash are from the same region: this closes any attempt to accuse one over the other giving any political color.
2. the government looks to be in favor of the truth i.e. the wing which argues that this church need a better administration. But that doesn’t mean that the other part is free from the touch of the government; not so strong and bold though.
3. the majority of Holy Synod members are said to be in favor of change
4. different bodies (senior citizens, scholars, associations, etc.) are whispered making their stand clear in a tougher way. The exiled fathers are also among these bodies.
5. the patriarch has been informed [by the group who stand against him] that if he won’t cooperate and bring the change in demand, there will come more stories and facts which will put him in danger more than he is now.
Let us hope and pray that the change we desperately need will come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point number 2 is the weakest part of your reflections. The government siding or supporting "the truth"?! That is not only questionable, but also unnecessary! The government wants to control Our Church! To safeguard the interests of Our Church, it is necessary to be smart and avoid more problems.Moreover be careful as not to alienate Tewahedo Christians by bringing in this thema of a devisive regime! It is in the interest of our churchfor you to live out this unwarranted assertion. It maker your otherwise solid arguments, weak and not well reflected upon. We all know the government is the source of all evil in Ethiopia now. So, to safeguard the interests of our Faith and Church, we must be determined to bring in the necessary change with the knowledge that we shall continue to have problems with this govenment. All of Ethiopia has problems with this government! Your best bet would be to remove this statement and in the future not to bring in this issue. With best wishes to you!
God Save Tewahedo Ethiopia!!!!
