After studying theology at Trinity College, Glasgow University, he was ordained in the Church of Scotland in 1954. He served as missionary in Nyasaland (now Malawi) from 1954 to 1958, in Ghana from 1958 to 1964, and again in Nyasaland from 1964 to 1974. His work there included preaching, education, and community development.

Nylea L. Butler-Moore
Composer (descant) of "BLANTYRE" in The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement II Nylea L. Butler-Moore, the nationally recognized Methodist composer and writer. She is the music director at Trinity United Methodist Church in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and the youth editor of the Church Music Workshop magazine, published by Abingdon Press in Nashville, Tennessee. She also edits Jubilate, a newsletter for Methodist musicians.
She received her bachelor of music from the University of Tennessee in 1982 and a master of church music with a choral conducting emphasis from the Scarrit-Graduate School in 1985. Her interest in music education took her to the Southeastern Massachusetts University for two graduate courses in the Kodaly music education method. With such a solid music preparation, it is no wonder to see her as a leader in the Methodist music circles and, happily for the Roman Catholic scene, for the Catholic churches in the United States.
The charm of her music promises to enhance Catholic liturgy even more now as her compositions become more available to the parish musician through GIA's contining ecumenical spectrum.
