Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studia Biblica Et Ecclesiastica, Vol. 5: Essays Chiefly in Biblical and Patristic Criticism The Georgian Church Autocephalous. It has been asserted, not without authority, that the first Bishop of Georgia was only called John (ioane, Iovane) because he was the that he was in reality that Eustatius who was patriarch'of Antioch from 325 till 331, when he was expelled by heretics. In 1051 we find the clergy of Antioch claiming the patriarchate over Georgia, and about the same time Ephrem the Younger refers to Eustatius of Antioch as the first Georgian bishop. In any case it is certain that until the reign of Vakhtang Gorgaslan (end of fifth century) the Georgian Church was subject to Antioch; Vakhtang made it a national Church, and it was solemnly declared autocephalous by the Sixth General Council. Practically, it is now swal lowed up in the Russian Church, and the tomb of St. Nino, in the monastery of Bodbe, has been surrounded by hideous modern buildings, and given into the care of Russian nuns ignorant of the language and history of the country.
