He was ordained a priest in the Dominican Order (OP) in 1971, and subsequently was based at the west London catholic chaplaincy.  He taught scripture at Oxford, and was elected provincial of the Order of Preachers in England in 1988. In 1992 he was elected master [superior general] of the Dominican Order, holding that office up to 2001.”
