Welcome to the Archive!

In his 30 years of ministry with FCCEM, Bill Coley has published nearly 500 church newsletter columns. This archive collection of his columns through the years reflects the character, diversity, charm, and wit of those writings.

Bill personally selected the 105 entires of this archive that is less a "greatest hits" collection, and more a witness to the many and diverse ways the "And from Bill..." column has addressed what it means to follow Jesus in a wounded and challenged world. One entry - #104 - is actually a a piece written by Bill's grandfather in 1923.

The format of archive entries is simple: Presented first is a brief introduction to the entry's column, Bill's explanation for the columns's presence the collection, and a bit of background to help understand the setting out of which it arose. Then comes the column itself, unedited from its original content save for spelling and punctuation corrections.

We encourage you to leave comments on any or all of the archive's entries.
