Why Is Veselin Kesich Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Veselin Kesich was an Eastern Orthodox theologian, and university professor. He succeeded Alexander Schmemann as dean of the Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in 1983. Biography Veselin Kesich completed his elementary and secondary schooling in Banja Luka and started studies at the University of Belgrade. In 1941 left the university to join the army to fight the invading forces of Nazi Germany. When General Milan Nedić was entrusted with the administration of German-occupied Serbia, Kesich remained under the command of Nedić in the government called the Government of National Salvation. When the Nazis were driven out of Yugoslavia by the Allies who allowed Tito and his communists to usurp the Old Order, all the loyal Serbs who fought the invader, succumbed to his wrath, endured four years of humiliation and survived the Yugoslav civil war, decided to leave the country en masse, with many ending in different displaced persons camps in post-World War II Europe. Kesich was sent to one of the most crowded camps at Eboli, near Salerno, wherein 1947 he had the good fortune to be selected to study theology at Dorchester College in England with 40 other students and priests who were at the camp when Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe, the Right Reverend Harold Buxton paid a visit.
