The term "P'ent'ay" is widely used in modern Ethiopia to describe adherents of the Protestant religion birthed in Western Europe. The P'ent'ay religion is badly fractured and divided, though there are three major "denominations" (the K'alay Hiywet/Word of Life, Mekane Yesus/Lutheran, and Meserete Kristos Churches) amongst the hundreds of splinter groups. Some P'ent'ay sects have been influenced by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (which represents mainstream, traditional Ethiopian Christianity), but for the most part they are very charismatic/Pentecostal in their worship and theology (hence the use of this slang word for the followers of their religion).
