Finally, a chance to talk about Michael the Deacon! I mean there’s not a lot to say but it’s really interesting that an Ethiopian deacon befriended Martin Luther and demonstrated to him there’s valid Christianity beyond the pope’s clutches.

Edit: and for extra Star Trek fun Ferengi and Negus are Ethiopian words for foreigner and king 🤓
