Text Box: Father’s house there are many mansions. There is only one God regardless of name, ideologies of how to worship, and theories of his going and coming. All nations of Afrika must be willing through your religious leaders to nurse the faithful towards stronger ideals of love and good will towards all Afrikan families and people regardless of spiritual preferences. In this era of the 21st century with new plans of global economics being structured, Afrika’s boarders must be protected from advancing exploration of resources, seeing that our own people are in need of its vital support. For we Afrikan people are brothers and sisters by blood, and ideologies and philosophies of one’s way of life cannot be imposed onto others, not through kindness or by force. All honor to His Holiness Abune Paulos I Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, who told me personally to tell Afrikans in America that Ethiopia is truly their home and the country is open to receive them. I would like to thank the Patriarch for the special invitation with the accompany of Mimhir Daniel Seifemichael Feleke professor of the Holy Trinity College, and historian curator of the Ethiopian Millennium Museum(which holds hundreds of the country’s most ancient historic, holy and spiritual books), to the, “Life and Works of Saint Yared, the Composer”, commemoration event held Sunday September 7th at the Millennium Central Hall on Bole Road, celebrated to close the Millennium year. It was a pleasure witnessing H.E. Ato Girma Wolde Giorgis, President of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and H.E. Ato Meles Zenawi, Prime Minster of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia so strong willed to preserve the country’s ancient heritage of the Ge’ez langue that is widely expressed as the official church language and deep admiration of St. Yared’s angelic chants of praises. My favorite portion of the program was when the young man of at lease 7 years of age stood up to recite Qiune in the Ge’ez language. All in attendance heart’s rejoiced to see the tradition still alive and well preserved with in the youth, and it showed to be a blessing that the rich heritage of Ethiopia will continue for the next 1,000 years. The country stepped in to its year one of the New Millennium receiving with many accomplishments of hope
