Moderator of the United Church of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Moderator of the United Church of Canada is the presiding leader of the United Church of Canada, Canada's largest Protestant denomination. The church is highly decentralized and non-dogmatic and the moderator has only limited power. The moderator presides over the meeting of the court, thus the moderator is the chairperson, and is understood to be a member of the court acting primus inter pares. Sitting moderators are styled the "right reverend" if they are ordained clergy (since the election of Robert McClure, a medical doctor, in 1968, moderators have not necessarily been clergy) and the "very reverend" after their retirement, in keeping with the practice of the pre-Church Union Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Moderators are elected at the church's triannual General Councils. The current moderator is the Rt. Rev. David Giuliano.
