All are children of one of Heavenly Father

St Tikhon of Moscow, while bishop in North America, spoke 120 years ago of race and racism (with reference to Native Americans):


"It is not civilization at all--which is shamefully preached by some—wherein the sole idea is that the white race must not only dominate the world, but must wipe out the other

“colored” races...


True civilization consists in giving as many people as possible access to the benefits of life... Since all people originate from one man, all are children of one Heavenly Father; all were redeemed by the most pure blood of Christ, in Whom 'there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free.' All are brothers and must love one another--love one another not only in words, but in deeds as well."


From the sermon preached in San Francisco on June 10/23 1900
