	Abuna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abuna (Ge'ez: አቡነ ’abunä) is the title of the metropolitan bishop or head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
		Historically the Abuna was selected by the Coptic Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria, who was the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church and also had diocesian authority over Ethiopia and other parts of Africa, who would appoint one of his monks to this post.
		Five bishops were immediately consecrated by the Patriarch of Alexandria, empowered to elect a new Patriarch for their church, and the successor to Abuna Qerellos IV would have the power to consecrate new bishops.

		Abuna had been worried that being on a starship for a year or so with little physical work to do would cause her waistline to expand, yet she saw herself as quite trim when looking in that mirror.
		Abuna was momentarily surprised that she was being asked this question, although she had to recall that one of the purposes of the first officer was to provide ideas and to be a sounding board for the captain's ideas.

	Ethiopian Christianity: A History of the Christian Church in Ethiopia
		The Church also suffered from the lack of leadership and ordiantions for much of the nineteenth century, since the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, himself in deep difficulties, did not provide the Ethiopian church with its abuna, and when he did the abuna found himself powerless in the face of the distintegration of the Ethiopian state.
		Without a strong king to hold it together and direct the abuna, the church was essentially rudderless.
		Internally, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church won the right to appoint their own Abuna, rather than have the Abuna always be an Egyptian Copt appointed by the Patriarch of Alexandria.
