The line between Rastafari and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church can sometimes be a fluid one, and nowhere is it on display more than at this church. The 11am Sunday service here is a colorful affair, but to attend, women must wear dresses and keep their hair covered, while shorts are forbidden for men. The two sexes sit on either side of the aisle.
