[edit] Needs serious stylistic work

While the subject is fascinating, and there's much good information here, this article needs serious stylistic work to make it appropriate for an encyclopaedia. As it is there is far too much enthusiastic partisan writing and not enough disinterested discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kentfx (talk • contribs) 14:21, 18 August 2007

I agree -- it sounds like a paper written in seminary. It also gets extremely general, discussing Plato and the origins of all western spiritual traditions instead of specifically African Christian mysticism. Pjrich 21:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved section

I moved here an unsourced section, unknown elsewhere on Wikipedia, possibly bogus, and subject to competing linkspamming. — Komusou talk @ 02:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

East African Christian Mysticism is nothing but Ethiopian. The brotherhood of Gaffat people which has been introducing the teaching of Meyesaw is believed to be the very recent mystical footprint of the Desert Fathers. The teaching of the brotherhood is based on an esoteric most ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. Even though there are some doubts in the existence of the brotherhood, there is a group which has known to uncover the mystery of the secert brotherhood. No one knows for sure if this new group is another cult that the world has to see. For more information you can check this website [competing linkspam below]
