Mr. Liberovsky enrolled at the renowned Saint Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris, France, where he would later serve as president of the student body.  Having defended his thesis on the history of the Orthodox Church in Canada, written in Russian, he received a Licence (M.Div.) degree from St. Sergius Institute in 1982.  

His current projects include coordination of the work of the Archives Advisory Committee, a panel of experts that is assessing the housing, preservation and access needs of the OCA Archives and developing strategic solutions.  In the Statute Revision Task Force, his focus is to provide appropriate historical reference material for the work of this body, which is drafting a comprehensive revision of the OCA Statute.
