He was the founding missionary bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA), under the patronage of the Anglica Church of Nigeria, until his retirement in January 2014. Prior to becoming a bishop, he served as rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Virginia, in the United States. Early lifeMinns was raised in Nottingham, England. In 1964, he received a Bachelor of Science with honours in mathematics and statistics from Birmingham University in Birmingham, England. From 1967 until 1975, Minns was an executive for the Mobil Corporation in New York City. Clerical trainingMinns received a Master of Divinity in 1978 from Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia. He was ordained to the diaconate in June, 1978, and ordained to the priesthood in June, 1979. Departure from the Episcopal ChurchFrom 1978 until 1982, he served as the associate rector of St. Paul's Church, Darien, Connecticut.

In 1991, Minns was installed as rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Virginia. In reaction to the Episcopal Church appointing Gene Robinson, a homosexual priest, as the Bishop of New Hampshire, Minns led eleven Virginia Churches, including Truro, in leaving the denomination in 2006. The next year, he was named the head of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, an association of conservative churches under the patronage of the Anglican Church of Nigeria. This decision led to the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia bringing a lawsuit against Truro, which lasted until 2012 and resulted in property rights being granted to the Diocese.[1][2][3] Minns was excluded from the invitation list to the 2008 Lambeth Conference.[4] Minns was made an Honorary Canon of All Saints Cathedral, Mpwapwa, Tanzania.
