Jean Blaquière

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Blaquière, a Pentecostal pastor, was a candidate for the Christian Heritage Party of Canada in the Canadian federal election of 1993, and won the party leadership in March 1994 at a Vancouver convention, in a race with two other contenders.

Blaquière's time in the leadership was constructive, however, he perceived that his calling was to return to active pastoral ministry as the means of "building the kingdom". Blaquière chose to step down at the next convention in November 1995 in London, Ontario, and was succeeded by Ron Gray.
