Thanks for the reminder. The (African) link, is a direct to the Desert Father's brand of mysticism apart from Christian and other mysticisms. I have been reading and haven't concocted a post of findings about the Copts or Ethiopian Christians. However I knew a while back, that my favourite Gnostic text from Nag Hammadi digs, was found in tact and in practice in both Copt/Ethiopian, traditions. The Gospel of Thomas reads just like another favourite of mine, which is the Dhammapada.
