First Black Orthodox Priest in America



The First Black Orthodox Priest in America


The Very Reverend Father Raphael (Morgan)
Comment: though we do not know ALL of the details, pro or con, of his complicated life, nor is it yet known where he is buried, yet from what this research has uncovered, he was truly a remarkable man.  His work and influence, helped to lay the early groundwork, for the latter current  spread of Orthodoxy in Africa.
Memory Eternal!
