| dc.description.abstract | The Baha'i Faith arrived in Ethiopia in the late 1932 and is over seventy years. Its membership, which in 1934, consisted of about nine persons, mostly of foreigners has grown to almost ten thousands representing about nine ethnic groups. Initially, located in Addis Ababa, capital city of Ethiopia, today Baha'is can be found in one hundred and twenty four towns, cities and villages with background of Christianity (of different branches), Islam and Traditional beliefs. However, The Baha'i community of Ethiopia is one of the least studied religious minorities in the country. Very little has been written about the introduction of the religion, the composition of its members, its development projects and social and religious practices. Therefore, this paper is mainly concerned about conducting an ethnographic and historical study about the Baha'i community of Ethiopia by taking as cases two zones of Region 14, Addis Ababa, namely Zone 3 and Zone 4 where some 300 Baha'is reside. | en_US |
