He obtained his B.D. from Emmanuel College in 1953, M.A. from Columbia University and Th.D. from Union Theological Seminary in 1960.

Following retirement in 1994, he served as long term pulpit supply at St. John’s Stratford, 1994-1995; St. John’s Scarborough, 2000; Rosedale, 2000-2001. During his term as moderator he travelled extensively in Canada. In 1975 following his term as Moderator he became a Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and was responsible for public hearings across Ontario, receiving 300 written briefs and drafting "Life Together", the first revision of the Human Rights Code in 15 years.
