He is presently an assistant bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh (Anglican Church in North America).
Bishop Lyons is a graduate of Wheaton College and holds four graduate degrees from Wheaton Graduate School, Nashotah Theological Seminary, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Carey Theological College.
