Daily Study #3: Silence and Complicity Reflections from the Ethiopian Orthodox Canon

A Short Daily Reflection on Responsibility, Discernment, and Moral Courage

Daily Study #3: Silence and Complicity is a short devotional reflection inspired by ancient writings preserved within the Ethiopian Orthodox biblical tradition.

This daily study explores the often-overlooked relationship between silence and responsibility. Drawing on themes found in the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, and related ancient texts, it invites readers to reflect on moments when silence is not neutral—and when it quietly becomes participation.

Rather than offering doctrine or formal instruction, this study encourages thoughtful self-examination around questions such as:

• When silence protects and when it enables harm

• The difference between wisdom and avoidance

• Responsibility for what we witness but do not address

• Moral courage in quiet, everyday decisions

Designed as a brief daily reading, this book is well suited for:

• Personal reflection

• Morning or evening devotional time

• Readers interested in ancient biblical traditions

• Educational exploration of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon

Each daily study includes a focused reflection, optional companion readings from public-domain ancient texts, a gentle invitation for personal journaling, and a quiet question to carry into the next day.
