Members of the HS hold the meeting but short of reaching at a point to discuss the pressing issue which caused the meeting to be called: the EC Vs HH saga! It is said that HH joined the meeting very lately. The most hotly discussed issue was the booklet published by an unknown person defaming Abune Samuel. Most of the Archbishops were angry and unanimously condemned the publication as it is a total treat to monasticism, a deep - rooted ecclesiastical tradition in the country. The number of the archbishops is short of meeting the amount which enable the HS to decide on high level agendas like the one set for. The number of the Archbishops showed up in the Meeting Hall today was, according to some views, intentionally decreased because of an unplanned trip of some Archbishops (HH's siders) to a countryside for 'church service'.
