He was Principal of the CMS School at Batala from then until 1928; and then held a similar post at Dera Ismail Khan until 1935. Returning to England he was Vicar of Christ Church, South Nutfield[5] until 1938 when he was appointed to the episcopate.[6] He was consecrated a bishop on 18 October 1938, at Madras' cathedral.[7] Resigning his see in 1944 he became Rector of Stratfield Saye.
