While at Gustavus Adolphus he rekindled the faith and did some reaching in the Lutheran Church during his junior and senior year.
From 1935 to 1940 he served in a number of parishes in Minnesota until being appointed Dean of Calvary Cathedral in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1940.
As bishop he was involved in international peace committees and hence had to travel to countries in Africa and to Vietnam.
