Teofan Živković

Later, he accepted the post of rector of the Faculty of Theology at his alma mater in Sremski Karlovci.

[1] Božidar Živković was tonsured as a monk in 1853 and adopted the monastic name of Teofan.

[1] As an archimandrite, Teofan published his book "The Serbian National Church in Timișoara" in 1868.

[1] In 1881, the Church-People's Committee elected Teofan Živković as the Patriarch of Karlovac.

[1][2][3] Bishop Teofan's speech in 1881[4] played a role in calming down the great expectations of uniting the Serbian National Church with that of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia by Pope Leo XIII,[5] his apostolic commissioner Josip Stadler[6] and politician Josip Juraj Strossmayer[7] during the politically volatile period of the 1880s when anything could have happened?
