Before his election as bishop, McKinstry served as rector in two congregations that brought him into contact with two future presidents of the United States. As rector of St. Paul's Church, Albany, New York from 1927 until 1931, he developed a friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, as rector of St. Mark's Church in San Antonio, Texas, McKinstry conducted the wedding of Lyndon B. Johnson.
