But as someone of proud Irish descent, I’d like to pay tribute today to an American Irishman named John Joseph Hughes. In 1838, at the age of 40, Bishop Hughes was transferred to New York, where he was appointed to the role of coadjutor bishop. Bishop Hughes also made the Scriptures real and relevant. But here was Bishop Hughes secret:He didn’t simply preach at them; he talked with them, like a father to a son. Those committed to redeeming the current culture can find practical application and inspiration in the work of Bishop John Hughes.
