“When Noah was five hundred years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

Genesis 5:32


“…THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE...” John 17:11

Living the Prayer of Jesus through Racial Sobriety

Matthew 24:37-44

In the biblical tradition all of the races of the human family originate with Noah’s three sons: Japheth, Shem and Ham. Each represents in the Western mythology of race, the three racial divisions of Caucasoid (Japheth), Asian (Shem) and Negroid (Ham). The unity of the human family can be highlighted and the fact that we are not living in the days of Noah when every person was a part of one family that survived the great flood.
