His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP presents this COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY Book of our Antiochian Archdiocese in North America to its Readers, stating that the virtues of perseverance, struggle, and determination are the only road to the success of the personal individual human being. Father Antony Gabriel affirms this statement of the Metropolitan with a lucid presentation of our history in simile to the strivings of Saints Peter and Paul, the Founders of the Holy See of Antioch.
