Boyle was an Episcopalian and was a long time associate of Bishop Alexander Forbes and a supporter of his views. Correspondence between the two men is held by the University of Dundee's archives.[2] In 1848 the Boyle founded a choir school attached to the Church of St. Andrews, Millport. He followed this up in 1849 by founding and endowing the Episcopal College and Collegiate Church of the Holy Spirit, Cumbrae. The college was completed in 1851 to plans by William Butterfield and was later affiliated to the University of Durham as Cumbrae Theological College. While the Collegiate Church was elevated to the status of Cathedral of Argyll and the Isles in 1879, the college ultimately closed in 1888.[3]
