Conference of Addis Ababa


The Conference of Addis Ababa was a meeting of the Oriental Orthodox churches in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 1965. Hosted nominally by Abuna Basilios, but effectively by Abuna Theophilos, this meeting was momentous as there had been no such collective meeting of the various Non-Chalcedonian churches since the 5th century. The meeting was attended by Pope Cyril VI, Mor Ignatius Ya`qub III, Vazgen I, Khoren I, and Baselios Augen I.
