Bill was the first PCUSA staff for the environmental ministries program beginning in 1988. He remembers well PEC’s foundational meeting, and initial conference at Ghost Ranch. Now retired, Bill has remained involved in the World Council of Churches Climate Change Steering Committee, and has continued to attend the UN negotiations. In Utah, he is participating in a Wilderness Stewards program to help monitor wilderness areas for signs of vandalism, missing signage or tracks of motorized vehicles, etc., which keeps him out in the beautiful red rock canyon country.
