Our VISION

Our Vision:  We  identify with and envision ourselves abreast with Saint Constantine the Great and his original Fifty Guards who fought in the Name of CHRIST; and we also identify and stand abreast with his mother, Saint Helen, discoverer of the Precious Cross.  We believe in and defend the Cause of CHRIST in perpetuity. (See related history)

Our Mission: To preserve Constantine's legacy, perpetuated by his legitimate successors and continued to this day through the Orders of Saint Constantine the Great, Saint Helen, and Saint Eugene of Trebizond and through all the other Institutions of The House of Lascaris Comnenus of Constantinople.

Our Purpose:  To defend against and to repel with equal or greater resolve all attacks aimed at the destruction of the Cause of CHRIST.

Our Goal:  To pursue our free belief in the teaching of CHRIST and to emulate it, but not to proselytize and impose our convictions upon others.   To insist on and to endorse all high moral and spiritual values and principles of diverse ethical provenance, and to impart honest and correct knowledge to the best of our ability.

Our Objective:  To integrate the above imperatives within the context of each particular project that we undertake.

Expansion of Western Civilization: from Constantine the Great to Constantinople and Byzantium and onward to America

NEW BYZANTIUM is The AMERICAS
 We are sincerely pleased you have come to visit our Site and we extend to you our warmest greeting in the highest tradition of BYZANTIUM.  Our Principal goal is to impart to you heretofore intentionally little known facts about BYZANTIUM as the foundation of Western Civilization.  We will avoid knowingly withholding the truth as an aim to social disorientation.  Practice of historical deception must cease.  We hope that you will enjoy our contribution to the fullest.  Welcome.
Constantine the Great began his eventful climb in York, England and reached the apex of his achievement in Constantinople, the City that he founded and named after himself (Constantine+Polis [city]=Constantinople).  By means of these pages, our readers travel through time, touching upon the early periods, including that of Constantine, of historical Constantinople, and of Hagia Sophia—the nexus of the Christian world—to arrive at places and events of our present day.  Our readers reach the outermost limit to which both Eastern and Western Christian groups expanded, bringing forth the flower of Western Civilization.  That limit is the Western Hemisphere as a whole, and in particular the coast of California near San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge where the two groups converged  as they approached from the North and from the South.
