Until the mid-twentieth century the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was a Copt appointed by the Coptic Patriarchate in Egypt. In 1929 four native Ethiopian bishops were ordained to assist the Coptic Metropolitan. Subsequently with the support of Emperor Haile Selassie reigned 1930-1974 an agreement was reached with the Copts in 1948 providing for the election of an ethnic Ethiopian Metropolitan to succeed the Metropolitan Kyrillos.
