Career
He was subsequently licensed at Street Paul"s Cathedral, London, on 9 February 2006 to act as an honorary assistant bishop in the Diocese of London. He thereafter served as priest-in-charge of Street Mark’s Tollington Park in North London until 2 February 2011 when he retired. He practised as a barrister for 10 years.
After that, he gained a diploma in theology from the University of Durham.
He was ordained deacon in 1976 and priest in 1977 at the age of 37. Millar has been a prebendary of Street Paul"s Cathedral since 1997.

During this period, he developed a strategy of church planting throughout London, thereby making it possible for dying churches to have a fresh start with congregations and clergy provided by Holy Trinity — all in close association with the London bishops.
