After his ordination in 1970 he served as curate at St Barnabas' Church, Broadway. From 1973-1976 and 1980-1984 he lectured at Moore College. He was Principal of the College from 1985-2001, when he was consecrated Archbishop of Sydney. He held this post until his retirement in 2013.

The Global Anglican Future Conference is a global network of evangelical Anglicans. Their stated aim is to "guard and proclaim the unchanging, transforming Gospel through biblically faithful preaching and teaching which frees our churches to make disciples by clear and certain witness to Jesus Christ in all the world." They have held three conferences: Jerusalem 2008, when the seminal Jerusalem Statement was formulated, Nairobi 2013 and Jerusalem 2018. It is led by a Council of Primates, GAFCON Guarantors who oversee vision, strategy and resources, and GAFCON Trustees who ensure legal compliance. Bishop Peter Jensen was the first General Secretary. The Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans is a company set up at the request of the Primates' Council under English charitable law.
