Anglicans in the Horn of Africa
View through CrossRef
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Anglican missionaries attempted to bring renewal to the ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Church by teaching the Orthodox clergy and people the content of the Bible. Other Anglican missionaries attempted to reach Ethiopian Jews with the gospel of Christ, and then encouraged Jewish converts to be baptized in the Orthodox Church. In major cities (such as Addis Ababa and Asmara) Anglicans established chaplaincies for British expatriates. Recently, Anglican refugees from South Sudan planted churches in western Ethiopia, especially in the regions of Asosa and Gambella. These churches of Nuer, Anuak, Opo, Mabaan, and Jieng (Dinka) people are found both in refugee camps and in many local villages and towns. This chapter examines these different endeavours as part of one Anglican story.
