"Ethiopianism: Past and Present"
"The history of Christianity, like the history of all great religions
and social movements, is strewn with the wrecks of words, wrenched
from their original meanings, widened or narrowed, and forced into a
bewildering variety of vessels that church their ways in seas of
semantic confusion. The Church of Africa south of the Sahara has
acquired and added to the many Christian verbal transmogrifications
that came originally from the north. In its turn,it has produced its
own eccentric ecclesiastical etymology, of which, perhaps the most
striking example is the story of Ethiopianism."
