The new "Holy Synod of Oromia and Nations and Nationalities", formed by three breakaway Archbishops and their 25 appointee episcopate, has received "overwhelming" public support and reception. The appointment of the 26 episcopate was made to resolve longstanding issues within the church, such as failing to serve believers in their native languages and detached from their culture. However, the appointment was called "illegal" by the EOTC Patriarch, who convened an emergency meeting to deal with the event. Despite the criticism, the bishops have been welcomed with enthusiasm throughout their travels.
