In 1953, he became a member of the Warsaw congregation of the United Evangelical Church in Poland. He studied theology at the Christian Theological Academy in Warsaw (1955–1960) and the University of Basel (1960–1961), where he attended lectures by Karl Barth and Oscar Cullmann.

Biblical scholar and publicist In 1962, together with Edward Czajko, Kwiecień wrote a series of articles for the Jubilee Calendar of the United Evangelical Church for the year 1963.

From 1963 to 1970, he was a regular contributor to Jednota. Between 1964 and 1971 and between 1982 and 1988, he served as the editorial secretary of Chrześcijanin. During that time, most of the editorial workload fell on him, as other members had church duties and could not dedicate much time to the publication. In a 1988 interview with Chrześcijanin, he stated that working on the magazine was an essential part of his life. In 1989, from January to December, he was the editor-in-chief of the magazine. He also contributed to Słowo i Życie, the publication of the Church of Christ's Assemblies. Between 1982 and 2012, Kwiecień collaborated with Orthodox priest Jan Anchimiuk (later Archbishop Jeremiasz), Catholic priest Professor Michał Czajkowski, and Catholic journalist Jan Turnau to produce an ecumenical translation of the New Testament. This was a private initiative…
