Has anyone, regardless of faith, ever met a minister/preacher/priest etc. that had a positive influence?

My father had a very negative impact on me throughout my life, right up until he died. I would even go so far as to say that I hated this man and his convoluted sense of spirituality. He and I argued about his “Christian” beliefs several times while he was trying to convert me, and in during these arguements tended to make himself look less well versed than he thought he was…(all Jews are Christians…) His minister Derrin, who I only met twice, once at diner and once at my sisters wedding, helped by setting him straight in his own faith. I had a great deal of resect for this man as he was genuinely interested in my world view. I was just wondering if anyone else has had a positive interaction with a spiritual leader?
