There are elements of business that go against religious principles and which might compromise ethical behaviour and practices. Yet, others believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with religious people being involved in profit-making endeavours. The Batik Group at the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Jamaica Holy Trinity Branch is of the latter view, it seems, as its members are making and selling Jadire™ batik print materials. They also intend to train other church members, “as well as other interested persons or groups, sometime in the first half of 2024”. The making and selling of batik fabric, then, is one way in which the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Holy Trinity Branch Batik Group is attaining financial stability.
