The Very Reverend N. Bruce McLeod (1930 - ) is a former Moderator of the United Church of Canada (1972-1974).[1] He has a doctorate in preaching from Union Theological Seminary in New York.[2]
As Moderator, McLeod practised extensive outreach via television and by ministry in shopping malls and elsewhere in the world beyond traditional congregational worship.[1] He envisioned a United Church of Canada that would become more open and welcoming to new ideas than had previously been the case, and one in which regional sensibilities as to then-current issues such as abortion would be given credibility.[1] During his term, McLeod also succeeded in encouraging more friendly relations between Jews and the United Church of Canada.[3]
