In The Ethiopian Orthodox Church (and off-shoot of Traditional Catholicism) – a ‘’Debtera’’ occupies an unusual vocation. Comparable to a Deacon, The Debtera was also part ‘’’Medicine Man’’, ‘’Healer’’ and ‘’Shaman’’. Because of the power They have, most Members of The Church feared Them. The Debtera was also the One selected for Exorcism of Evil Spirits. Said to be descended from a similar position in Ancient Israel, some Sects still employ a Debtera.
