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 since Morgan was referred to as the ''“founder and superior”'' of that religious fraternity, although 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.
