Elected bishop of Quebec, 1935; archbishop, 1944; retired to England, 1960. He contributed much to the 1959 revision of the Canadian Prayer Book, and published several works on Canadian church history, notably The Anglican Church in Canada (Toronto: Collins, 1962). His hymn for St. Peter's Day was substituted by the compilers of the 1938 Book of Common Praise for their first choice, which mentioned the apostle's wife--about whom many clergy protested that they knew too little to risk honoring.
