Education and ecclesiastical career

Glenfield was educated at Queen's University Belfast and Trinity College, Dublin and ordained in 1992. His first post was a curacy at Douglas, County Cork.[3] He then served incumbencies in Rathcooney, Kill O'The Grange (County Dublin) and Hillsborough

Since Glenfield's installation he has been instrumental in reforming the administrative councils that comprise the Diocese of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. He is a conservative evangelical who is renowned for his biblical teaching,[4] before elevation to the Episcopate.[5]

Glenfield is a supporter of the Anglican realignment and he visited the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, who left the Episcopal Church of the United States, because they opposed their pro-homosexuality stance, in May 2014.[6] He attended GAFCON III, held on 17-22 June 2018, in Jerusalem.[7]
