Why? You've got Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, animists, Muslims and a smattering of Falasha Jews in that region,all established for centuries. Do they think their going to one day see the Light, and start passing out copies of "The Watchtower" door to door?

Agreed.  One thing I learned after graduating from Catholic grade schools and high schools is not to waste my time trying to navigate the labyrinth of organized religion.  Its a futile pursuit.

"You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, and a cross of gold
But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary"
