Throughout his career, Dr Callam has been an influential figure in global Christianity, particularly within the Baptist tradition and the ecumenical movement. As General Secretary of the BWA, he led a global fellowship of Baptist conventions and unions. He is widely described as a "man of faith who lives, perceives, thinks and decides theologically". He has been deeply involved in global dialogues, including Faith and Order commissions and Baptist-Catholic dialogues exploring the Gospel and the witness of the church.
