ETHIOPIA-MILLENIUM-RELIGION
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY AARON MAASHO
Ethiopian Orthodox priests take part in a procession in the capital Addis Ababa 27 September 2007 during Meskel (Ahmaric for cross) celebrations as part of the nation's third millennium celebrations. As Ethiopia entered its third millennium, so did its Orthodox church, a venerable state-backed institution whose dominance is increasingly threatened by a myriad of evangelical faiths. Patriarch Paulos, the current head of the 40-million-strong Ethiopian Orthodox Church, downplays any rivalry and stresses, as one of the presidents of the World Council of Churches, he has invited the leaders of other denominations on numerous occasions. .
