His early work was in medical research at the National Institutes of Health, then as assistant professor of medicine at George Washington University and the medical director and superintendent of the District of Columbia General Hospital. It was at this time that he experienced the friendship of the Reverend Jerome Kotsonis as he conducted him to the library of the Catholic University of America each day for three summers, where he was researching Orthodox dogmatics. Reverend Kotsonis, who was subsequently elevated to the position of archbishop of the Orthodox Church of Greece, taught him a plethora about Orthodoxy in their conversations. The spark generated over this period of learning was fanned to a flame as he served for many years as a member and officer of the parish council and the choir of St. Sophia Orthodox Cathedral of Washington, DC, under its dean the protopresbyter John Tavlarides.view less
