What I miss in the declarations???????

I have nothing more these days that make me happy than reading outrages from different parishes about the turmoil we saw last month in the Patriarchate. I wish all parishes of EOTC both inside and outside Ethiopia send their vexations that we can be blessed with a breath taking news in October. I even wish the so called 'sidetegnaw sinodos' can come back to its heart and send its stand to the Holy Synod demonstrating its willingness to drop its uncomfortable stand and join the mother church if the burning administrative problems can be solved. But I am missing one important point in the declarative papers dispatched yet. The declarations luck one important precondition. I think churches should say like 'if so won't be done in October, we will do so'. Analysing the contents of the declarations, it also look that they were initiated and wrote by the clergies. They miss the footprints of the laities which should had to be bold. Parish councils should organize the laities whom they represent and come up with more declarations!!!!!!! And where are Sunday Schools. We know that there are some strong Sunday Schools Unions. Where are they? Where is the one time Laities Council who once moved us with its fascinating objectives. Where is the 'Alem aqef yemeemenan goubae'?????????? Where are the so called 'geleltegnoch'??? I thought their choice of being neutral was due to the administrative problem the mother church has. So why they stay calm when the issue they badly needed raised in the house? Come on men...now is the time to stand together for the 'emancipation' of our emancipated church. Cry loud so that the 'building' will be abolished.

"Come on men...now is the time to stand together for the 'emancipation' of our emancipated church. "

Yes, the condition for the possibility of defining our problems, of coming up with alternative solutions, of applying them effectively, etcetera, is that we should STAND TOGETHER, that there should be an UNDIVIDED "WE"! Hence my plea to all sons and daughters of Tewahedo:

ርግፍ፣ ርግፍግፍ፣ ርግፍግፍግፍግፍ አድርገን እንተወው።
ትውት፣ትውትውት፣ትውትውትውትውት እናድርገው።

እባካችን ስለ-ሥላሴ፣ በማርያም፣ በሚካኤል፣ በገብርኤል፣ በጊዮርጊስ፣ በተክልየ፣ በወለተ-ጴጥሮስ… በቅዱስ ያሬድ፣ ባባ ጊዮርጊስ… በየምንወደው ቅዱስ/ቅድስት (ወይስ የምንወደው ቅዱስ የለንም እንዴ? ጉድ እኮ ነው እናንተው።ኹሉንም እናውቃቸዋለን የምንወዳቸውም ባንድ መልክ ነው የምትሉም፤ መልካም፦ በቅዱሳን ኹሉ ይዣችዃለኹ)፣ በየወላጆቻችን ሳይቀር (በቀለምም በሥጋም በወለዱን)… በሰማይ በላዕሉ ወበምድር በታሕታ…። እባካችን ርግፍ አድርገን እንተወው።

“ምኑን?” ካላችኹ፦

እኔ ያባ ጳውሎስ ነኝ፣ እኔ ያባ መርቆርዮስ ነኝ፣ እኔ ያባ ዲዮስቆሮስ ነኝ፤ ሲነሽጠንም፦ የለም እኔ ያባ ሸኖዳ ነኝ ማለቱን! እባካችን ይኸን እንተው።

በሌላ መልኩም፦

እኔ አክራሪ ታማኝ የማላወላውል…ነኝ፣ እኔ የገባኝ የተገለጠልኝ የበራልኝ የታደስኩ ነኝ… ማለቱን እንተወው።

እንደገናም፦

እኔ ጳጳስ ነኝ፣ እኔ ካህን ነኝ፣ እኔ ጨዋ ነኝ፣ እኔ መነኩሴ ነኝ፣ማለቱን ሳይቀር እንተው።

ጎበዝ፦ “እየየ ሲደላ ነው” ይባል የለም እንዴ? ዛሬ የሚሰማውን፣ የሚታየውን ጉድ የጉድ ጉድ ለማራቅ እንድንችል እንዲህ ያለውን ክፍፍል እንተወው። አያዋጣንምና። ይልቁንስ ጊዜው ሳይመሽ እናብር፤ እንደድር!
(“አልሰሜን ግባ በሉት” አሉ፤ “አልመሸም እንዴ?” ትሉኝ እንደኾነ፦ ምናልባት ጥቂት ደቂቃ ይቀር እንደሁ ብየ ነው፤ እንደ ቅጽበተ-ዓይነ-ፈያታይ ዘየማን ያለች!)

ቅድም የረሳኹት አንድ መስመር፦

እኔ ጎንደሬ እኔ ትግሬ፣ እኔ ወሎየ እኔ ወለጎየ... ማለቱንም እንተው
