Ras Desta,
What have the people in the Church done to make you see them as hypocrites? I'm sure they only want you to reject the notion that Haile Selassie is God, not stop speaking about him totally. His majesty was a holy man and is well loved by the Church. As far as the locks go, Ethiopian Christians feel very strongly about the command of St. Paul that "long hair on the head of a man is a shame". The only Ethiopian Christians exempted from this are the hermits who take a vow of celibacy and divorce themselves completely from the world, living alone in the wilderness. I'm sorry if I offended you. Please pray for me.
Nicholas
