Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church ((アムハラ語:የኢትዮጵያ ኦርቶዶክስ ተዋሕዶ ቤተ ክርስቲያን); transliterated Amharic: ''Yäityop'ya ortodoks täwahedo bétäkrestyan'') is the predominant Oriental Orthodox Christian Church in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Church was administratively part of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria until 1959, when it was granted its own Patriarch by the Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of All Africa, Cyril VI. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, being a non-Chalcedonian Church, is not in communion with the Ethiopian Catholic Church, a Chalcedonian Church.
One of the few pre-colonial Christian Churches in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has a membership of between 40 and 45 million people, the majority of whom live in Ethiopia,〔Berhanu Abegaz, ("Ethiopia: A Model Nation of Minorities" ) (accessed 6 April 2006)〕 and is thus the largest of all Oriental Orthodox Churches. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is a founding member of the World Council of Churches.〔("Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church" ), World Council of Churches website (accessed 2 June 2009)〕
''Tewahedo'' (Ge'ez ተዋሕዶ) is a Ge'ez word meaning "being made one" or "unified". This word refers to the Oriental Orthodox belief in the one single unified Nature of Christ; i.e., a belief that a complete, natural union of the Divine and Human Natures into One is self-evident in order to accomplish the divine salvation of humankind, as opposed to the "two Natures of Christ" belief (unmixed, but unseparated Divine and Human Natures, called the Hypostatic Union) which is held by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on the Henotikon, around 500 bishops within the Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem refused to accept the Dyophysitism (two natures) doctrine decreed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, thus separating themselves from the main body of the Christian Church (which would later split in the 11th century, for different reasons, into the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches).
The Oriental Orthodox Churches, which today include the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the Armenian Orthodox Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Malankara Orthodox Church of India, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, are referred to as "Non-Chalcedonian", and, sometimes mistakenly by outsiders as "monophysite" (meaning "One Single Nature", in reference to Christ). However, these Churches themselves describe their Christology as miaphysite (meaning "One United Nature", in reference to Christ; the translation of the word "Tewahedo").
