He was sponsored by the Bishop of the Arctic to attend university and achieved a doctorate in theology from Trinity College, Toronto. He was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1934.((“Tom Greenwood.” //Wikipedia,// 2021 website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Greenwood.))
	
Greenwood was at the Arctic Mission at Fort McPherson from 1934 to 1936 and at St John the Baptist's in Harrow, England from 1937 to 1938. He was a curate of St Peter’s in Greater Manchester, England from 1938 to 1940 and its vicar until 1946.

Tom Greenwood was elected the sixth Bishop of the Yukon on 30 January, consecrated on 27 April 1952, and enthroned on 20 August 1953.((Manuscript "Summery of the Anglican Church in Yukon" by Archdeacon Allan Haldenby of Dawson in 1957 and updated by Lee Sax and Bishop Ronald Ferris in 1991.)) He first established himself in Dawson and then moved the cathedral to the new capital of Whitehorse and named it the See city. He planned the building of new churches in communities along the recently opened Alaska Highway. He was the first bishop to travel his diocese by car rather than river boat and dog team. Bishop Greenwood celebrated the advent of the first missionary to the Yukon and the diocese’ 100th anniversary before moving back to England in 1961.((Bishop Henry Marsh, “Bishops of the Yukon.” Unpublished paper in the Old Log Church vertical files.)) Tom Greenwood always maintained his connection to the Anglican Church Army.((“Tom Greenwood.” //Wikipedia,// 2021 website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Greenwood.))
