Cameron's quick advance in the church led him to become Chaplain at St. Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, 1971-1975. During this period he was the Diocesan and Provincial Youth Chaplain. In the next several years he held a number of posts. Between 1975 and 1982, he was Rector of St. Mary's Church in Dalmahoy, followed as Team Minister in Livingston, 1982-1988, and then Rector of St. John's Church in Perth, 1988-1992.

At the meeting of the Primates of the Anglican Communion in February 2005, Bruce Cameron presented a summary of the worldwide responses to the Windsor Report on preserving the communion in the face of differences of opinion on sexuality. Cameron stepped down as Primus in April 2006, and retired as Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney at the end of June 2006. He remains married to Elaine (née Gingles), who he wedded in 1974, and they have two sons. Following his retirement, he served as an Assistant Bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America for several months in 2008.
