“Ted”
Canadian cleric (b. April 30, 1919, Edmonton, Alta.—d. June 21, 2004, near Parry Sound, Ont.), supported such causes as abortion rights,
same-sex marriage, and the ordination of women priests as the liberal archbishop and leader (1971–86) of the Anglican Church of Canada. He also defended social justice and spoke out passionately against apartheid in South Africa. Scott was ordained in 1940 and was named bishop of Kootenay in 1966. Five years later he became the youngest primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, and from 1975 to 1983 he served as moderator of the central committee of the World Council of Churches. He was elected president of the Canadian Council of Churches in 1985. Scott was dubbed the “Pink Primate” and “Red Ted” by those who disapproved of his activism. In 1988 he was the recipient of the Pearson Peace Medal, given by the United Nations Association in Canada. Scott was killed in an auto accident.
