Tewahedo (Te-wa-hido) (Ge'ez ተዋሕዶ tawāhidō, modern pronunciation tewāhidō) 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.
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was created in 1959.
The population of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is 45,000,000.

Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church
A branch of "Coptic Christianity" but it is now the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
The main religion in Asmara (the capital city of Eritrea) is Christianity, but there are many muslims there too.There are 9 culture groups in Eritrea.>>Afar, Bilyen, Hidareb, Kunama, Nara, Rashaida, Saho, Tigre and Tigrinya.Statisticly for the whole of Eritrea it is about fifty-fifty between Islam and Christianity. Next to those majority religions you got culture groups with their own believes.Tigrinya is on paper the offical language of Eritrea and so is it the dominant culture group with Asmara the capital city. In Asmara, the majority of the people are Christian, but closer to or in other cities you will find Islam being more dominant.
They were descendants of the Hebrews, but were polytheistic and believed in nature gods, then in the 4th century C.E. they adopted a sect of Christianity called Coptic from the Egyptians. In later centuries there was a large expansion of Islam through the area, but they retained Christian beliefes
Hi or Hello
There are three main schools of thought when it comes to Sacred Scripture and Its Canon: Catholic/Orthodox, Protestant, and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In the Catholic and Orthodox Churches the Holy Scriptures are seen as one of the two sources of Theology in the Church, the second being Holy Tradition. However, Holy Tradition can NEVER contradict Holy Scripture. As far as the Catholic/Orthodox Canon goes we have a total of 73 books, whereas Protestant have 66. We have the normal Protestant Canon plus: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees. The Protestant Church views the Bible as the only authority on church teaching. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has the Catholic/Orthodox Canon plus: Esdras, Prayer of Minasse, 1 Enoch, 1 2 and 3 Meqabyan, and Psalm 151.
