💭 “I have been reminded firsthand in recent trips from Texas to Ethiopia about the unique role the Gates Foundation plays…” Mark Suzman
💭 Statement from Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman about Melinda French Gates
✞ The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has maintained a quiet presence in Jerusalem for more than 1,500 years, with some people claiming that there has been an Ethiopian delegacy in the Holy Land ever since the famed meeting of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon some 3,000 years ago.
For many centuries, the center of the Ethiopian Church in Jerusalem was a small courtyard with several structures behind the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Christian Quarter of the Old City. Today, however, the Church has to a large extent relocated outside the walls to the western city. The move began in the 19th century, when a succession of powerful Ethiopian monarchs decided to establish a strong presence outside Africa. In 1888, Ethiopian Emperor Yohanes bought a large plot of land and began construction of a new church and monastery. The complex eventually lent its name to the road on which it is situated – Ethiopia Street.
The new church is an impressive structure in a secluded courtyard, built in the circular style reminiscent of other Ethiopian churches. The complex is usually a haven of tranquility in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, but during Easter things pick up, and it is recommended to visit and witness the lively services. Remember to take off your shoes at the entrance as this is a requirement of the Ethiopian rite.
Crucifixion | On That Day, Children of Christ Became Christians & Children of the Antichrist Muslims
✞ Today millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus’ Crucifixion.
In Ethiopia, Good Friday is known locally as Siklet which translates to Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a day of fasting, intense prayer and prostrations.
Followers of Ethiopian Orthodox Churches share the religious tradition with other Orthodox Churches. In Ethiopia, churches outside the Ethiopian Orthodox Church including Catholic celebrate the good Friday along with the Ethiopian Church.
Good Friday is the holiday that Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified for the salvation of human race. He was beaten hard, spited on and dragged with a robe all the way through to Calvary.
After His capture betrayed by Judas on Thursday eve subsequent to His prayer in Gethsemane, the Jews took Him and started their torture. Early morning on this Holy Friday, Lord Jesus Christ was brought to trial in front of the Jewish leader Pilate. Convicted for a crime He did not commit, Lord Jesus was tortured and tormented until He reached to the Calvary for crucifixion. Upon it was revealed miracles including the darkening of the sun, the bleeding of the moon and the falling of the stars whilst Lord Jesus Christ separated His divine soul from His body at the ninth hour. Then after, Joseph and Nicodimus took His holy body and buried it.
✞ A chapter in one of the Prayer books (The Passion of Cross or Himamat Meskel) of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church teaches us the following very important lesson:
“They did not know, but I was crucified and reigned over the righteous and the martyrs, so the Jews who saw those 7 miracles being done, were called Christians because they said that it could only be a God of nature who is showing us these miracles, and if He was not a God of nature, such miracles would not have been done.„
And,
☪ “Those who deny the divinity of Jesus by saying, „He is not God, He was not born, He is not The Son of God, God doesn’t have a son, He was not crucified, He is only a friend of God, a good man and just a prophet; They are called Muslims, or followers of Islam. It was on that very day that Islam and Christianity were called as such.”
May God accept our prayer, fasting and all our endeavors on the great lent and redeem us; Amen!
✞ Russell Brand announces baptism after months-long spiritual journey: ‘Taking the plunge’
Brand says many returning to Christianity as world crumbles
Actor and comedian Russell Brand announced Friday that he is going to be baptized this weekend, the culmination of his months-long public wrestling with the tenets of Christianity.
“This Sunday, I’m taking the plunge,” Brand, 48, said in a video he posted to X. “I’m getting baptized.”
Brand said he had heard baptism explained to him as “an opportunity to die and be reborn; an opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ’s name like it says in Galatians — that you can live as an enlightened and awakened person.”
He also referenced what he suggested were non-Christian reflections on the same theme of embracing death for the sake of life, quoting Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and the Buddha.
“All of these things seem so inviting and beautiful,” he said.
Brand also suggested that increasing numbers are turning back to Christianity as the empty value system of modernity disintegrates and leaves them wanting more.
“I know a lot of people are sort of cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God, but to me, it’s obvious,” he said. “As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we’ve all known all of our lives, within us and around us. And for me, it’s very exciting.”
Brand added that he intends to get baptized in the heavily polluted River Thames, joking that he might be also getting baptized in toxoplasmosis and E. coli.
“I may be leaving behind the sins, but I might be picking up some pretty serious viruses,” he said.
Brand’s baptism comes after other videos he has been making in recent months about his spiritual journey to the Christian faith.
In December, he told followers he was reading the Bible and The Problem of Pain, a 1940 book by C.S. Lewis that explores the role of suffering in the Christian life.
In January, he noted that he was reading Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life, and that he desired a “personal relationship with God” as he found Jesus Christ increasingly important as he grows older, despite once seeing many churches as either too “old-fashioned” or too modernized.
“The reason I wear a cross is because Christianity and, in particular, the figure of Christ, are, it seems to me, inevitably becoming more important as I become more familiar with suffering, purpose, self, and not-self,” he said at the time.
In March, he posted a video explaining that he had been visiting churches of various denominations with the intention of possibly getting baptized, and asked his followers their opinions on the sacrament.
During an interview with Tucker Carlson last year, Brand said, “Like many desperate people, I need spirituality. I need God, or I cannot cope in this world. I need to believe in the best in people.”
Acknowledging he “didn’t have enough self-discipline to resist the allure of stardom,” he said he “fell face-first into the glitter, and I’m only just pulling myself out now.”
Brand faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct going back years, including one report that claims he assaulted a 16-year-old girl after pulling her into an “emotionally and sexually abusive” relationship.
Brand has denied the “very serious criminal allegations” and maintained that while he was “very, very promiscuous” in the past, all of his sexual relationships were “always consensual.”
