In 1534, Michael the Deacon travelled to Wittenberg and met with Martin Luther, a leader in the Reformation.[2][3] During the meeting, the two compared the Lutheran Mass with that used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and found that they were in agreement with one another.[1][4] Michael the Deacon also affirmed Luther's Articles of the Christian Faith as a "good creed".[3][1] As such, Luther invited the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to full fellowship.[5][1]
