Gray was a parish priest for thirty-eight years, thirty-one spent as the rector of a suburban Atlanta parish. Fifteen people entered Holy Orders during Gray's ministry. During his service in two dioceses he did all the diocesan things - Standing Committees, summer camps, diocesan commissions and task forces, episcopal search committees, various chaplaincies, coordination of mission congregations etc.
Gray's Christian discipleship has led him to chair two urban projects devoted to public housing residents and to men dying of AIDS. It has led him into the thick of his denomination's wranglings about the sacramental status of gay and lesbian people, and led him to serve as coach/consultant to a controversial non-profit organization caring for homeless people. Those passions infuse Gray's writings.
In addition to conferences and some widely publicized debates, Gray is the author of 4 books and several articles and chapters in the books of others.
