[2]
In 1971, Duncan moved to the Diocese in Europe and was based at Christ Church, Vienna. [1] From 1971 to 1975, he also served as chaplain to the British ambassadors to Austria, to Hungary, and to Czechoslovakia. [2]
In 1975, Duncan returned to England and joined the Diocese of Exeter as Vicar of the Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who Hung Thereon, Crediton. [1] [2] He was additionally Rural Dean of Cadbury between 1976 and 1981. [1] His parish joined with another in 1982 and he became Rector of Crediton and Shobrooke. [2] He once more served as Rural Dean of Cadbury, from 1984 to 1986. [1]
