Controversy

Edits were done to this page that reflect information that is not published. There is no source for the claims about how EOTC members interpret the disputed word as interchangeable with another word. It does not appear in Yirga's article.

New book

• The Life and Struggles of Our Mother Walatta Petros: A Seventeenth-Century African Biography of an Ethiopian Woman by Galawdewos, translated and edited by Wendy Laura Belcher and Michael Kleiner, 2015, Princeton University Press Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 01:24, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Timeframe faulty?

The timeframe gives 1612 as the year of Susenyo's conversion, and 1617 as year for a first campaign to suppress a anti-Catholic rebellion, and 1621 him forbidding the teaching of Ethiopian orthodoxy. In literature I only see his public conversion in 1622, so there was hardly a reason for anti-Catholic measures and rebellion before that date. Cf the timeframe and sources in article Susenyos I Kipala (talk) 21:05, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
