Grandin played an important role in the religious and political life of Barthélemy Boganda, ordaining him in 1938 and encouraging him to run for the French National Assembly in 1946.[1]
Grandin died in Bangui. Boganda, who had great respect for him, henceforth distanced himself from the church hierarchy.[1]
