As an independent scholar who specializes in late
antiquity/early-medieval Christianity, I am interested
in patristic and liturgical material of all kinds. I
am working on the development and relationship
(liturgical, canonical, social) of Byzantine-Slavic
Eastern Christian practices involving same-sex unions
and heterosexual remarriages. Published articles and chapters include work involving
early Christian commentaries on the women of
Apocalypse 12 and 17, the image of the "dragon" in
*The Golden Legend,* the preaching of John Chrysostom
on Romans 12-13, and sermons to recruit Crusaders in
western Europe.
I have received degrees from Yale, St. Vladimir's
Orthodox Seminary, and Hunter College (CUNY), where I
have studied with John Boswell, John Meyendorff,
Alexander Schmemann, and Aidan Kavanaugh.
