the leaders of Campus Crisade for Christ decided to separate and research the question separately and then meet again to share their discoveries. Their research led them to the Holy Orthodox Church.

Since 1987 he has been an archpriest in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archiocese of North America.

Christian Faith". He is married and has six children.
