“ | The abun, an Ethiopian term for bishop, is an office dating back to Late Antiquity and a testament to Ethiopia's legacy as one of the world's first Christian states. As time went on, the number of external religious influences increased in the forms of interaction with Islamic states and Catholic missionaries, but abuns retained a key role in several societies. | ” |
