After completing his studies, he worked in the Methodist congregation of Basel and then became secretary of bishop John Louis Nuelsen.
In this position he contributed a lot after World War II to rebuild the completely destroyed German publishing house in Frankfurt.
1954, a few months after the death of his wife, he attended in Brussels, Belgium, the constituting conference of the newly created Central Conference of Middle and Southern Europe to which belonged the then Methodist Episcopal Church in Switzerland, France, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and the Methodist work in Algeria.
