Book of Common Prayer
Rev. Karl Wilhelm Isenberg of the London-based Church Missionary Society translated the Anglican “Common Book of Prayer” and the Heidelberg Catechism into Amharic. The Amharic Common Book of Prayer was published in 1842 and appears to be the first printed Amharic Protestant liturgy.
The Dinka version (Bor dialect) was issued in 1956. Most Dinka live in Southern Sudan, yet there are also some Dinka refugees in Ethiopia.
