"We have concluded that when the principle of racial division (i.e. phyletism) is juxtaposed with the teaching of the Gospel and the constant practice of the Church, it is not only foreign to it, but also completely opposed, to it. We decree the following in the Holy Spirit: 1. We reject and condemn racial division, that is, racial differences, national quarrels and disagreements in the Church of Christ, as being contrary to the teaching of the Gospel and the holy canons of our blessed fathers, on which the holy Church is established and which adorn human society and lead it to Divine piety. 2. In accordance with the holy canons, we proclaim that those who accept such division according to races and who dare to base on it hitherto unheard-of racial assemblies are foreign to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and are real schismatics."

Antiochian Village wins Ebay Auction of St. Raphael's walking stick

We have been advised that Antiochian Village was the winning bid for the walking stick of St. Raphael of Brooklyn.
The item had been placed on Ebay about a week ago - bidding concluded last night.
The winning bid was slightly over $5,000 ($5103.99). For more information, see the link below. The walking stick was engraved with Bishop Raphael's name, and dated 1904. Our understanding is that the item will be added to a display of artifacts at a museum at the Antiochian Village. St. Raphael of Brooklyn is buried on grounds at Antiochian Village.
Congratulations!!!
Dean Calvert
