Harris has been involved in parish ministry since 1985, but moved to Adelaide in 1995,[4] and spent 13 years as rector of St Matthew's Kensington and as Archdeacon for 18 months, before moving to Nelson, New Zealand, for three and a half years to serve as Dean of Bishopdale College, and later as Archdeacon for Theological Education and Ministry Formation in the Anglican Diocese of Nelson.[2] While Harris was in both roles, parish numbers in the respective areas increased by 90%.[1]

In 2011 Harris moved back to Adelaide to take up the appointment as Bishop and was consecrated on 20 November 2011.[1] The major focus of his role is on encouraging and developing ‘mission and evangelism’ within the Diocese, alongside some teaching at St Barnabas College.[4]

Harris is married to Fiona and has a son.[2]
