Bishop William Willimon

I just finished a wonderful week of study with William Willimon at Western Seminary in a Doctor Ministry course, “Peculiar Speech; Proclamation and Theology.”  Willimon is bishop of the United Methodist Church of Alabama, a veteran preacher, pastor, 20-year chaplain of Duke University, and a life-long civil rights activist.  He walks the walk of living faith, and provided a very challenging and encouraging week of study around the topic of the theology of preaching.  What a privilege to rub shoulders with a such a seasoned veteran of the life of following the Lord!  Here’s a link to a short talk that Willimon did on Luke 15, the stories of the lost sheep, coin, and boy.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGN7iWEgsnA

Blessings!
