The revocations of titles and authority by the Holy Synod also extends to the 25 Episcopate out of the 26 who were anointed by the three Archbishops. One of the 26, Father Tsega Zeab Adugna, has yesterday apologized to the Church and its community and voluntarily rescinded his Episcopate anointment, which was accepted by the Holy Synod. The Patriarch then summoned all members of the Holy Synod from around the world for an emergency plenary assembly, which took place today. However, the Holy Synod has said the doors of the Church's mercy will remain open for the three Archbishops in the event that they decided to repent and apologized. The Archbishop accused the Holy Synod that is currently in office for comprising 85% of its members from only one group and for failing to reflect the Church's diversity.
