The Bishop of Blackburn, the Rt Rev Nicholas Reade, has welcomed a Liverpool vicar as the new Anglican Bishop of Lancaster.
Bishop Reade said he was delighted to welcome Canon Geoff Pearson, 55, to his new ministry as the Bishop of Lancaster.
Pearson, the pioneer of “Kidz Clubs” in the mainstream churches, returns to Lancashire where he previously served as a vicar in the Blackburn area during the 1970s and 1980s.
"Geoff obviously knows our county and culture from his years in Blackburn and it is good to welcome the Pearsons back," said the Bishop of Blackburn.
