Bryce was elected Moderator of the United Church of Canada in 1936 and became one of the most travelled and outspoken spiritual leaders in the denomination's history. Just as in his earlier ministry, he remained an advocate for the marginalized, oppressed and voiceless in Canada and beyond. During his term as Moderator, Bryce spoke out against the "vitrolic campaign [of] carefully crafted hatred of the Jew" in Europe and spoke on the issue at a rally in Toronto in 1938.
