Milić was born on 28 December 1969 in Bijeljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the time in Yugoslavia. He studied theology at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Osijek, Croatia; the Evangelical Bible Institute in Vienna; and the Protestant Theological Faculty in Novi Sad, Serbia, where he completed his Ph.D. in 2005 on the subject of Croatian Calvinism. He worked as a religious education teacher in public schools for more than 20 years and hosted a Christian radio program in Croatia called Sources of Faith. Milić also taught at the seminary in Osijek, where he was dean of external studies, and at the Novi Sad faculty, where he was academic dean.[1]
Milić was ordained as a pastor in the Reformed Christian Church in Croatia in 1995 and became a senior pastor of the Reformed church in Tordinci in 1999.[1] In 2001, he joined other pastors and congregations in withdrawing from the church and forming the Protestant Reformed Christian Church in Croatia. Milić served as superintendent of the church. In 2010, he began the process of affiliating with the Reformed Episcopal Church, which was completed in 2011 when the PRKC was received as a deanery of the Reformed Episcopal Church in Germany.[2]
The PRKC synod elected Milić as its local bishop, and he was consecrated at Tordinci by the Rt. Rev. Royal U. Grote Jr. on 3 May 2013. Milić continues to serve as assistant bishop under the presiding bishop of the REC, who is the ordinary of the PRKC ex officio.[3]
In addition to his episcopal ministry, Milić is rector of the PRKC congregations in Tordinci and Osijek. He founded the Mihael Starin Protestant Theological School in Osijek.[1] In 2017, to mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, he opened the Reformation Heritage Center in Osijek.[4]
Personal life
Milić is married to Tamara, and they have two children.[1]
