At its annual General Synod late last month, the third largest church in Canada approved a motion furthering Jewish-Christian interfaith relations.

The Anglican Church of Canada voted to remove a prayer from its Book of Common Prayer that advocated converting Jews. A prayer calling for reconciliation will replace it.
