Seeking the welfare of the city: what the church can contribute to the common good – Pete Wilcox, Bishop of ��«Ӱҵ

Pete Wilcox, Bishop of ��«Ӱҵ, explored how, in pursuit of the common good, the Church has something to offer to policy-making, as well as project-delivery, in what one might call a prophetic – and not merely pastoral – role.

This lecture (26 June 2019, ��«Ӱҵ Cathedral) was part of the God and the Good: Thinking Religion and Ethics lecture series.

The Rt Revd Dr Pete Wilcox has been ordained for over 30 years and has been Bishop of ��«Ӱҵ since the summer of 2017, having been the Dean of Liverpool for the previous five years. He trained for the ordained ministry at Ridley Hall in Cambridge, after completing a degree in modern history at Durham.

Theological education and ministerial formation remain key interests for him, along with Bible teaching and expository preaching.

He is the author of three books which attempt to make Bible commentary accessible: Living the Dream: Joseph for Today (2007), Walking the Walk: The Rise of King David for Today (2009) and Talking the Talk: The Fall of King David for Today (2011).
