He was ordained deacon in 1906 and priest in 1907 and began his career with a curacy at St Paul's Cathedral, Dundee.[3] From 1906 he was a Missionary Priest in Southeast Asia eventually becoming Bishop of Labuan and Sarawak.[4]
He then returned to England as a Canon Residentiary of Carlisle Cathedral[5] and Assistant Bishop of Carlisle (both 1931–1938)[2] before being appointed Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh and an Assistant Bishop of Edinburgh.[2] He was then elected diocesan Bishop of Edinburgh in 1939.[6] Four years later he was elected Primus of Scotland;[7] ill-health caused him to resign as Primus in May 1946,[8] and to resign his See in September[9] before his death on 9 December 1946.[10]
