The organization was especially involved in South Africa, with as many as half of the members in ministry there. Stephen became part of this South African ministry which later became renowned under the leadership of Trevor Huddleston. From 1917 to 1932, Stephen was assistant priest at the Rand Native Mission, and mission priest at Rossetenville, Transvaal, from 1932 until 1948, then priest-in-charge until 1956.

Stephen retired in 1963/4 and died soon thereafter.

Trevor Huddleston by Piers McGrandle p47
So, first, [Trevor] needed to get to know the fellow members of the Community who were staying with him at the Priory in Sophiatown, a small bungalow with two front doors and a red tin roof, which was set back from the street. The older brethren were all older than him; there was Fr David Downton, who was in his sixties; Fr Stephen Carter and Fr Matthew Trelawney-Ross, both in their fifties; and Fr Claude Lunniss, who was in his thirties.

Death: 1 January 1965, at The Kensington Sanatorium, Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa
