Bio
Fr
Alexander Rentel, a 1995 M.Div. graduate of St. Vladimir’s,
is currently finishing his doctoral dissertation under the direction
of Fr Robert Taft, SJ, at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome.
Prior to coming to St Vladimir’s as an Instructor in Church
History and Canon Law, Fr Alexander was a 2000–2001 Junior
Fellow in Byzantine Studies at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, D.C.
In the spring of 2001, Fr Alexander received the E.K. Rand Dissertation
Grant from the Medieval Academy of America, which enabled him to
make a research trip to Meteora, Greece. He was ordained to the
priesthood in July 2001, and has most recently been serving at St
Gregory of Nyssa Church in Columbus, OH (OCA). He joins the seminary
with his wife, Nancy (M.Div. 1995) and their son, Dimitrios. |
