He is the first Archbishop and Primate of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui following the establishment of the Anglican Province in Hong Kong.

Kwong was chaplain of Chung Chi College and lectured at the Chinese University of Hong Kong until he was appointed diocesan secretary in 1979.

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.^[1]

He is advisor to the Amity Foundation of China, Vice-President of the Church Missionary Society and patron of The Comfort Care Concern Group, an organisation for the terminally ill. In recognition of his work, the University of Hong Kong awarded him the Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa).
