Paul Jones (bishop) - 1 reference result
Paul Jones (1880-4 September 1941) was Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Utah (1916-1918), socialist and prominent pacifist. He was forced to resign his post in April 1918 because of his out-spoken opposition to the Great War. Although in 1929 he was chosen as temporary bishop of Southern Ohio while the next incumbent was being selected, he never again held a permanent diocese.
Jones spent the rest of his life advocating for black civil rights, social reform and economic justice. He served as a chaplain at Antioch College and was instrumental in founding the Fellowship of Reconciliation and the Episcopal Peace Fellowship. Just prior to his death, he helped resettle Jews displaced by the Nazis and advocated a more understanding US relationship with Japan.
