Kwong was the chaplain of Chung Chi College and lectured at the Chinese University of Hong Kong until he was appointed diocesan secretary in 1979. In 1981 he became the Bishop of Hong Kong and Macao; he was consecrated a bishop on 25 March 1981 at St John's Cathedral (Hong Kong);[3] his diocese was split in order to create the new church Province of Hong Kong, and the portion he retained became the Diocese of Hong Kong Island (and he the Bishop of Hong Kong Island). Kwong was installed at the same Cathedral as the first Chinese archbishop of the Anglican Church on 25 October 1998.[1]
His contributions to the community of Hong Kong are wide and varied. He participated in the discussions leading up to the reunification of Hong Kong with the Mainland through the Consultative Committee for the Basic Law, the Preparatory Committee for the SAR and the Selection Committee. He was Advisor on Hong Kong Affairs between 1992 and 1997. After the Handover he became a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[4]
Following his retirement in January 2007, he has become the Archbishop Emeritus of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui and the Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Hong Kong Island.[5]
