Well that's interesting!
De Corneille, an Anglican priest and eventual Ontario Liberal MP, is credited as the first Canadian clergyman to urge the Christian community to re-evaluate its attitude towards Jews. As a result of his efforts, the Anglican Church renounced pro­sel­y­ti­za­tion of Jews in favour of under­standing, dialogue and reconciliation.
