	Williams
		William, as a first name, is Germanic in origin and is a combination of the words for "will" or "resolve" and "helmet" as "Willhelm".
		The name was "normanised" in the 11th Century and was, naturally, spread throughout the realm by the ruling classes after the Norman conquest in 1066, and its surname derivatives are quite common.
		Motto of the Williams Arms.-The transcription of the Welch moto in the coat-of-arms attributed to Robert Williams of Roxbury, in the "Williams Genealogy," is incorrect.

	HISTOREO » Blog Archive » Book Review: Peculiar Speech by William H. Willimon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Peculiar Speech by William Willimon is almost 15 years old, but it remains a storehouse of quotable observations on the interrelationships between preaching, the church, scripture, and baptism.
		Willimon’s attitude is that in the assembly the preacher should speak to the church as a called people, not to the outsiders or to the disinterested insiders [ix].
		Willimon’s reflections on the nature and importance of baptism are compelling.

		For Willimon, an ethical life comes from habits of biblical study, submission to the will of God and the church, living in community with one's flock and one's colleagues, bearing the crosses of ministry faithfully and patiently, and developing a humble sense of humor in one's ministry.
		In his discussion concerning the pastor in community, Willimon argues that the Pauline "test for the ethical appropriateness of a given practice is, Does this edify the body?" (p.
		Willimon laments, "I am conditioned by my culture to ask, 'What does this mean for me?' rather than to ask the corporate, 'What is the Bible saying to us?'" (p.

	UMPH - Review: Conversations with Barth on Preaching
		Rather Willimon takes us deep into the heart of the theology of preaching and the God who is revealed in the Incarnation as the Word made flesh, and who continues the dialog with humanity through generation after generation.
		Willimon points the way toward a renewal of preaching and a recovery of the power of the proclaimed word whose subject is forever the Word.
		At least Willimon alerts us to this, so one should be prepared; and, in the printing of the book, sections are set off with different print, type, font, and bold lettering.

	Willimon and Naylor: The Abandoned Generation (RJO's Reviews)
		Based on their studies of the Duke University campus, Willimon and Naylor correctly identify the real problem in American higher education as the poverty of student life, not the politicization of the curriculum.
		The solution to these problems, Willimon and Naylor show, is not left politics, nor right politics, nor politics of any kind: it is sustained, personal contact between students and faculty throughout the institution.
		It is unlikely that this book will have much effect on university administrators who profit from the existing problems, but it should be read by all students, parents, and (especially) legislators who want to improve the quality of higher education.

	William Willimon challenges commissioners to be Presbyterian - 6/20/99
		The young fellow, a student at Duke University where Willimon is dean of the chapel and a professor in the Divinity School, had unintentionally opened the door to a bedroom being occupied – passionately – by two other students.
		The philosophy was a South Carolina (Willimon's native state) paraphrase of France's enlightenment darling, Rene Descartes, who concluded – with great popular appeal – that individual thinking and reason were the path of righteousness.
		Willimon added a twist: "I choose, therefore I am." Well, freedom's not all it's cracked up to be, said Willimon, whose conclusions came from a word-study of Scripture.

		Willimon returns to the work of the greatest theologian of the 20th century to consider what the central themes of his theology might have to say to contemporary preachers.
		Hauerwas and Willimon look at the place of the Christian in the modern world, emphasizing the post-Christian nature of contemporary culture and the need for developing a Christian worldview that is informed from within the community of faith rather than by the secular society outside it.
		Willimon, drawing on contemporary studies of counseling and psychology looks at the importance of worship and community in the life of believers. He suggests that pastoral care is only truly effective in the context of the community of faith and active participation in it.

	Batt/Book Review: The Abandoned Generation: Rethinking Higher Education" (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Willimon and Naylor distance themselves, however, from studies which advocate returning to a mythical "good old days" before open enrollment and revisionist canons1.
		Although Willimon and Naylor do acknowledge that each institution must develop a plan to suit its unique student body, they show little awareness of the diverse and increasingly "nontraditional" student populations on many campuses nationwide.
		Nevertheless, the authors' willingness to draw attention to the uncomfortable underside of campus culture and their explicit linkage of students' social and academic lives are valuable additions to any discussion of contemporary higher education.
