Catholic father, Protestant mother. Public schools, Quaker college, secular university. Studied Byzantine and modern Greek history in Greece with the late Philip Sherrard my last year in college. Continued studying on my own while practicing the Latin rite. Five or six years joined St. Michael's on Mulberry Street and petitioned for and received a transfer to the Russian Catholic Church. I am also involved with the Transfiguration Community, associated with the Hosanna Community founded by some friends of Fr. Alexander Men in Moscow. The parish website seems to be down at the moment, but here is a link to the blog of the remarkable +Seraphim www.livejournal.com/users/se...sigrist/, who is of course OCA.
