“Yohannes IV felt keenly the frustrations of a divided church, and resolved to terminate the doctrinal controversies. In this attempt to attacked the Ye-Siga Lij(Son of Grace) and Sost Lidet(Three Births)
parties. He summoned its leaders to meet with him and his advisors at the Council of Boru Meda in 1878. The scene of the Council was magnificent, reminding one oConstantine at Nicea,, or the Charlemagne in his circle of theological advisers, vindicating the full divinity of Christians lurking ideas of crypto-Arianism. In the center of the arena at Boru-Meda were the Emperor Yohannes and king Menelik of Shewa, seated on thrones.”
