Histórico
William Baillie (Bill) Green was born on April 3, 1927. He graduated from Baylor University in 1948 with a degree in English and Greek before attending Louisville Seminary in Kentucky and Union Theological Seminary in New York. In 1955, he earned a doctorate in Philosophical Theology from the University of Edinburgh, where he completed a thesis on Paul Tillich.
Initially a Presbyterian and ordained a minister by the Presbytery of Westchester, New York, Green converted to The Episcopal Church in 1969. In 1972, he was ordained an Episcopal priest. A lifelong academic and educator, Green taught as an Associate Professor of Religion at Vassar College (1957-1966) and Professor of Theology at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest (ETSS) (1970-1999), among other institutions. He served as Theological Consultant for Clinical Pastoral Education at Seton Hospital in Austin from 1974 to 1999 and on the Board of Examining Chaplains for The Episcopal Church from 1977 to 1994.
Green authored a number of articles on Tillich and traditional theological subjects, as well as issues of women in ministry, ordained vocation, and Anglican Christology. A collection of personal writings, Ask, Seek, Knock: Sermons and Prayers, was published at the time of his retirement from ETSS later renames the Seminary of the Southwest (SSW).
Green died on April 19, 2011 in Austin, Texas.
