Urwin was born in Australia and attended Camberwell Grammar School in Melbourne. He began theology study at the Trinity College Theological School, Melbourne in 1974, and was preparing for acceptance as an ordination candidate for the Diocese of Melbourne. In 1976 Urwin moved to England where he resumed studies in theology at Ripon College Cuddesdon. He later received a MA degree in liturgy in 2003 from Heythrop College, University of London.
Urwin was ordained deacon in 1980 and priest in 1981. After being the curate of St Peter's, Walworth (1980–83) he was then the vicar of St Faith's, North Dulwich (1983–88).
