From England-
THE man who will fill one of the most senior positions at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral was unveiled to the public.
The Rev Canon Dr Pete Wilcox was revealed as the new Dean of Liverpool in an announcement made yesterday by 10 Downing Street after his appointment was approved by the Queen.
The dean is effectively deputy to the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Rev James Jones, and is in day-to-day charge of the running of the cathedral.
But he is also responsible for reaching out to the rest of the Merseyside community and making sure the church does not become too “exclusive.”
As well as many years’ experience in the church, dad-of-two Dr Wilcox is a keen sports fan and a supporter of Newcastle United.
His wife, Catherine Fox, is a published novelist who has also written a book about becoming a karate black belt.
Dr Wilcox’s appointment as dean comes after his predecessor, the Very Rev Justin Welby, was made Bishop of Durham. The new dean was selected from a shortlist of five.
