He has also served the Episcopal Church in other capacities including — member of the General Convention's committees on the Constitution and on Liturgy and Music, member the Joint Committee on the Philippine Covenant (JCPC), and recently as a member of the Executive Council.

His musical settings of hymns, service music, choral anthems, and children's songs have been published by Abingdon, GBGMusik, and Hinshaw Music, Inc. with several of his psalm antiphon settings appearing in the United Methodist Hymnal.
