​Since 1967 Chorbishop Beggiani has been Rector of Our Lady of Lebanon Seminary in Washington D.C., and Adjunct Associate Professor of Religion and Religious Education at Catholic University of America.  He was honored with the rank of Monsignor by Pope Paul VI in 1975 and ordained Chorbishop by Archbishop Francis Zayek in 1986.  President Gemayel of Lebanon awarded him the National Order of the Cedar in 1988.  The author has written a number of books and articles on theology.  His most recent work is Early Syriac Theology.
