A native of Chicago, the Reverend Peter Huiner received his undergraduate degree at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and later attended the Calvin Theological Seminary. Peter met his wife, Tona, while serving an internship in New York City in Harlem, and they were married in St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Harlem.

Peter was ordained in the Episcopal faith after doing graduate work at Seabury Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois; became the Chaplain at Northern Illinois University; and, later, the Assistant Dean.
Peter's ministry then took him back to New York State where he served as Archdeacon of the Diocese of Western New York in Buffalo, at the same time serving as Executive Director of Episcopal Charities in Western New York.
He then served as Headmaster of Calasanctius Preparatory School, a K-12 school for gifted children in Buffalo, and later as Rector of St. John the Baptist in Dunkirk, New York.
In 1988, Peter moved to Delaware to become the Rector of Grace Episcopal in Wilmington for ten years. Since his retirement, he has served as Canon Theologian at the Cathedral Church of St. John and now serves as an Interim Rector at The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew.
