Mahibre Kidusan Launches Its 5th Orthodox Tewahido Exhibition
‘Be versed with EOTC doctrines, and live up to one’s duties’
The motto for the Exhibition focuses on the need for children of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to be well aware of the Church’s doctrine as well as the need for them to play their part in the Church. Components in the Exhibition include major features of the Church and its evangelical mission in the world, in Africa and Ethiopia; current challenges faced by the Church; and the roles the laity are expected to play. The Exhibition, on top of so many illustrations and displays, included audio-visual elements that prove to be very informative and insightful.
The Exhibition helps each member of the laity to take a very close look into oneself as a Christian and the potential role expected of each given the current situation of the Church and oneself. It helps see where oneself stands as a Christian and as a member in the Church community.
Although the Exhibition was originally planned to be staged from March 24 to 30, 2016, it was banned in a move that was not very clear. MK took up the issue with appropriate bodies and managed to achieve the lifting of the ban and the launching of the Exhibition for the laity as well as for the general public.
The Exhibition would remain open from 8 AM to 6 PM for consecutive six days.
