The new Bishop of Liverpool was installed in a service at the city's Anglican Cathedral.
Dr John Perumbalath has become the ninth Bishop of Liverpool, succeeding Bishop Paul Bayes, who retired in February 2022. The Service of Installation took place on Saturday afternoon (April 22) before Bishop John took his first Cathedral Eucharist as Bishop on Sunday morning (April 23).
Bishop John hails from the ancient Syrian Christian community in Kerala, India, and trained for ministry at Union Biblical Seminary, Pune. He worked as a youth worker for university students and as a theological educator before his ordination in the Diocese of Calcutta, Church of North India.
