Bishop: I’ll stay in city for ever
Oct 27 2008 by David Charters, Liverpool Daily Post
THE Bishop of Liverpool last night committed himself to the city for the rest of his life, saying: “I’m here forever”.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Post to mark the 10th anniversary of his arrival in Liverpool, the Rt RevJames Jones, who was 60 this year, quashed any speculation about his future career by insisting that he was staying in the city until his retirement.
In the past, Bishop Jones’s name has been linked to the archbishoprics of York and even Canterbury. But Bishop Jones said: “I am here forever, this is me. I am the Bishop of Liverpool until I retire by God’s grace.
“This is a wonderful city.”
He added: “The great thing about this city is that if people believe that you are for them, they will take you to their heart.”
