The Ethiopian Orthodox Täwahedo Church (EOTC) knew great upheavals during the 20th century. At first, Ethiopian bishops could be consecrated in bringing to the end the old agreement with the Coptic Church. Secondly, a central ecclesiastical making-decision body could be created. All religious and secular affairs of the EOTC could be like that supervised as a whole. Thirdly, parish councils could be established in each parishes of the country, improving like that the supervision of the properties and the income of the EOTC. These three great upheavals aimed at establishing a centralized administration and participated to the creation of a totally new ecclesiastical administration. The destiny of the old ecclesiastical jurisdictions during this process is still difficult to estimate. So, this paper aims at establishing the consequences of the centralization process of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the ecclesiastical jurisdiction definition in Ethiopia. As a preliminary study led by the author, it showed that, thank to the centralization process, the territory became the only criterion to define the extent of an ecclesiastical jurisdiction in Ethiopia
