Order of Ethiopia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Order of Ethiopia was a group from the Ethiopian movement in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa that came into association with the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (since 2006 the Anglican Church of Southern Africa) during most of the 20th century. It was founded and initially led by James Mata Dwane.

[edit] The end of the Order of Ethiopia

In July 1999 the Provincial Synod of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa rescinded its Canon 48, which dealt with the relations between the CPSA and the Order of Ethiopia. The former Order of Ethiopia then decided, on 1999-08-27, to change its name to the Ethiopian Episcopal Church, and declared that the Ethiopian Episcopal Church was the successor in title to the Ibandla laseTiyopia / Order of Ethiopia.
