St. Philip African Orthodox Church

African Orthodox Church: And what more appropriate place for that discussion than St. Philip African Orthodox Church in Whitney Pier, the Sydney neighbourhood that was built by immigrants from Europe and the West Indies to provide a workforce for the once-burgeoning steel plant, according to The Chronicle Herald. At one time, church pews were segregated by colour and by wealth. With all the various church denominations, a form of segregation continues to this day, he said and Archbishop Vincent Waterman walked slowly through the last remaining African Orthodox Church in Canada on Friday afternoon, talking easily about his lifelong philosophy that all people are created equal. The African Orthodox Church came out of the American Catholic Church, which was one of the first to recognize all men as separate but equal, said Waterman. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
