Hamid was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada as a deacon in June 1981[5] and as a priest in 1982.[4] After ordination he was curate at St Christopher's, Burlington, Ontario, and then rector of St John's in the same city.[6] Following this he was mission co-ordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean for the Anglican Church of Canada and then (his last post before his ordination to the episcopate), the Director of Ecumenical Affairs and Studies[4] of the Anglican Communion.
