Bishop James will be celebrating his tenth anniversary as bishop of Liverpool with a special service at Liverpool Cathedral.
The colourful service reflects some of the important themes of Bishop James’ ministry and particularly highlights vocations and the call felt towards ordination.
The service will include the Bishop being greeted at the font by children who have been baptised in the last ten years.
At the font, one child will present the Bishop with water which is poured into the font.
The children then lead the procession through the Cathedral carrying blue streamers and the Bishop moves to his Chair.
As he passes through the people he sprinkles them with the water in thanksgiving for our baptism to life in Christ.
Later in the service the Bishop will be joined by people with red streamers (representing those confirmed or who have made their First Communion in the past ten years) they move towards the central space.
There will also be dramatised readings and a testimony by young people about their faith.
There will also be a celebration of lay ministry and ordained ministries with those commissioned to lay ministries in the past ten years process to the central space carrying green streamers and those ordained in the past ten years process to a focal point carrying gold streamers.
The service will then conclude with Bishop James and Sarah Jones being led out to the door by those carrying red, gold, green and blue streamers.
