Changes

In 1911 Fr. Raphael sailed to Cyprus, presumably to be tonsured a [[hieromonk]]. Possibly somewhere around this time, he founded the ''Order of the Cross of Golgotha'' (O.C.G.). <ref>As to the ''"Order of...",'' this could be a number of things; it could be an honorarium bestowed upon him for service done in the Church; or a entitling which lets others know of his special mission in the Patriarchate/Diocese etc.; it could also refer to a Society of monastics which transcends, because of rare circumstances, physical location. The Orthodox Church does not have separate Orders (Franciscan, Carmelite etc.) each with an entirely independent rule/ethos of life. Despite being mentioned on many occasions in association with Morgan, no other material has ever been found on the ''Order of the Cross of Golgotha''; it is possible that this was a monastic brotherhood formed for Black Orthodox Christians, though the formation of formal monastic orders is not traditionally practiced in the Orthodox tradition.</ref> However, Fr. Oliver Herbel ([[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America|AOC]]) has suggested that in 1911 Fr. Raphael was [[Tonsure|tonsured]] in Athens.<ref>Fr.
