Personal Background

Growing up in Colorado and pastoring churches in Northern Arizona and Northern Utah, Bill has lived most of his life with mountain ranges in clear view. Perhaps this in part explains why having a perspective of how the "peak" doctrines in the Bible relate to each other is of particular interest to him. Living the past 30 plus years in Utah has motivated him to reflect more carefully on those teachings where Mormonism has diverged from historic Christianity. Bill teaches theology and mission at Salt Lake Theological Seminary and directs the school's Field Education program, which places MDiv students as interns in local area churches. He was the pastor of Family in Christ Church in Ogden, Utah for over 30 years.

Why I teach at Salt Lake Theological Seminary

I have found a community of colleagues, staff, and students who challenge me to know God more deeply and with whom I share a vision for helping to make Him known at this time and in this place.
