Peter Williams
I held Board membership from 2000 to 2012, then again from 2015 to 2018, filling a vacancy. Since then I have served as a member of the History committee, for which I was the primary author of a number of questions over the past two decades. I received the Ph.D. from Yale in 1970 in Religious Studies with emphases in the History of Christianity and American Religious History. From 1970 to 2012 I taught in the Department of Comparative Religion at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and also held visiting appointments at Bexley Hall, Bowdoin College, and Stanford University. Relevant professional work includes having served as editor of the 9-volume Studies in Anglican History, sponsored by the Historical Society of the EC; as author of the book Religion, Art, and Money: Episcopalians and American Culture from the Civil War to the Great Depression (UNC Press, 2015); and a number of reviews in Anglican and Episcopal History and other scholarly journals on Anglican/Episcopal themes.
