| Introduction | I was born and raised an Orthodox Christian in the Sultanate of Oman and moved to the UK when I was a teenager. I also had the blessed opportunity to spend three years in Kerala (India) as an undergraduate at St. Berchmans' (SB) College, Changanacherry. After this I lived in London for a while and then went to Cambridge for an MA and then to Oxford University for my MPhil. I started my Doctoral studies at Oxford but I could not resist a Fellowship offer from Columbia University/Union Theological School in New York. I completed a Mellon Fellowship as a Columbia University Library Archives Intern in May 2009. I worked as an editor at the National Council of Churches of Christ, USA (NCCCUSA) in New York till the end of September 2009. I also worked as a Research Consultant for the Nida Institute of Biblical Scholarship (American Bible Society), finished my MTh from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary and also graduated with my PhD in Religion and Theology (Liturgics and Religion) from Fordham University. |
