He is the first Bishop in the Anglican Communion to come out of the background of the voluntary priesthood. From 1940 until 1960, when he was elected Assistant Bishop of Borneo, he was a naval architect and served parishes in Hong Kong without salary. Bishop Wong's jurisdiction includes the entire island of Taiwan, or Formosa, and he has under his charge 11 parishes and missions, 11 clergymen and three women workers.
