He said problems are observed in some churches due to lack of understanding of the rules and guidelines in the Kale &rsquo;Awadi. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 25.6px\"> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino\">&nbsp;&ldquo;Understanding and abiding by the rules and regulations of the church is crucial to avoid the recurrent problems,&rdquo; he added.

He also urged all to protect our way of living, which is shaped by spiritual teachings, from alien practices. &nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 25.6px\"> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino\">&ldquo;Ethiopians&rsquo; culture is not just about sharing meal with one another. But it&rsquo;s also about peaceful co-existence in both good and bad times,&rdquo; the Manager of the Patriarchate said adding that all should guard against foreign cultures that loosen the ties among citizens. Since there have been high levels of widespread invasion of faith and culture, the work of evangelism and ministry should also be strengthened to protect the laity from marauding wolves, he added.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 25.6px\"> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino\"><\/span><i style=\"text-align: center; color: #000000; line-height: 25.6px\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><b><span style=\"line-height: 25.6px; font-family: georgia, palatino\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; T<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino\">ranslated by: Tsegaye Girma &amp; Kassa Nigus<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/i> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify\"> <span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino\">&nbsp;<span style=\"line-height: 25.6px\"><span style=\"color: #008080\"><b><i><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">In featured news, August 25, 2016<\/span><\/i><\/b>&nbsp;<\/span><br \/> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-3985\" src=\"http:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/dscf1112.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 5px\" height=\"374\" width=\"294\" title=\"dscf1112.jpg\" alt=\"dscf1112.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/dscf1112.jpg 732w, https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/dscf1112-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/dscf1112-555x705.jpg 555w, https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-content\/uploads\/dscf1112-450x572.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/>His Grace Abune Deyoskoros, General Manager of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church Patriarchate, and Archbishop of southern Tigray Maychew Diocese, South Eastern and Eastern Tigray Adigrat diocese said believers who think that the church&rsquo;s administration is not their business lack proper understanding of the Kale &rsquo;Awadi (a manuscript that contains a set of rules that govern the church&rsquo;s administration.)&nbsp;<\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sermon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3986"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3986\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eotcmk.org\/e\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
