It has been 15 years in the making, but Wellington's Ethiopian community finally has their own priest. To celebrate their new priest arriving from Ethiopia, the community held a 10-hour-long service on Sunday starting from 3am. "There has been a lot of attempts before with our brothers and sisters but finally now, thanks to god, we have the priest." Mr Geddebo said it had been a long process and the community had wanted their own priest for 15 years. He said before there was an Ethiopian church in Christchurch, he learned about the country through his parents.
