He obtained his Bachelor of DivinityatUniversity of King's CollegeinHalifax, Nova Scotia and was ordained as a Deacon in 1916 in St. Thomas' Church Belleville, Ontario.[3] In 1917 he was ordained as a priest at All Saints' Church, Halifax.[2]

He was ProfessorofPhilosophyatKing's College, Nova Scotia[4] and then Dean of Residence at Trinity College[5] until April 25, 1940 when he was consecrated to the episcopate as the fifth Bishop of Algoma.[6] A stained glass window in St. Luke's Pro-Cathedral in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario was installed as a memorial to Kingston's work in the Diocese of Algoma.[2]

He subsequently became both Metropolitan (Archbishop of Nova Scotia) and the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada in 1947.[7] He died in post on 20 November 1950.[8] Following his death a memorial stained glass window was commissioned for St. Luke's Cathedral (Sault Ste.
