THE SACRED AND THE PROFANE - GEBREHIWOT GEBRESL...

The Orthodox Tewahedo Christian doctrine in Ethiopian practice has different possibilities: (a)
within church compounds the protection of nature (respect of creation)  (b) outside the
submission of nature  as the Bible demands - both are Christian behaviors! Church is not
pro-nature. The Church itself has set up a partition into sacred and profane  with different
rule for both spheres  both systems of rules exist parallel. The followers respect the plants
and animals in the church compound as end by themselves than a means to their economic
objectives  they respect them not for their economic value rather for their perceived duty 
respect to God as Church is the house of God. The people do not consider the plants and animals
in the Church as simply normal animals rather they are believed to have a metaphysical divine
power. Hence  it is impossible to put the follower's ethical perspective in exclusive manner
rather it is both anthropocentristic and deep ecological which can be determined by the nature
of the space occupied by the recourses.
