He held academic posts at Oxford, Trinity & All Saints College, Liverpool Hope University, and Leuven (Belgium).

He was made an honorary fellow of the Australian Catholic University, senior research fellow in public theology at the "Centro per le Scienze Religiose of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler," a 2004 Coolidge Fellow at Union Theological Seminary / Columbia University, and was chosen to take part in the "Teaching the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of the Human Genome Project" project at Dartmouth College’s Ethics Institute. He was the founding chair of the "Ecclesiological Investigations International Research Network" and President of the "International Network of Societies for Catholic Theology" (2017-2020) of the Catholic Theological Society of America.[6] He was the editor of Bloomsbury Publishing's series "Ecclesiological Investigations" and series co-editor, with Oxford University’s Mark Chapman, of Palgrave Macmillan’s "Pathways for Ecumenical and Inter-religious Dialogue" series.[7] He completed six years as founding co-chair of the Ecclesiology Program Unit of the American Academy of Religion (the world's largest scholarly organisation in the field) and sat on the steering groups of both the AAR’s Ecclesiology and Vatican II Studies Program Units.

Controversies
