Richardson came to India in 1945[4] and after more than a decade and half he was elected President of Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars in 1958[1] In the continuing year, Richardson was replaced[1] by Rev. A. B. Masilamani.
After a period of missionary service in India, Richardson returned to Canada and in 1961 became Dean[5] of Carey Hall at the University of British Columbia.[6] In addition to his responsibilities as Dean of Carey Hall, Richardson was also Chaplain to the University of British Columbia as well as Lecturer of Oriental Religions.[7]
