The Southern Christian Heretic by Bill Cummings

Bill Cummings is a seeker and a scholar. He is also a heretic to many who oppose his views. But he only asks you to stop and ask a few questions of your own faith. What is your faith based on? Do you believe in an exclusive club that only those who believe as you do can belong to it? Or is your belief system an all-inclusive one? How far do your limits of faith extend? Cummings is a biblical scholar but he talks to the person in the pew without telling them that they must believe as he does. To him, all roads taken in love will arrive at the same place.

Bill Cummings received his high school and college education in a monastery that was accredited by the University of Wisconsin. At Catholic University in Washington, DC, he received his STL in Theology and MA in Semitic languages, followed by extensive doctoral work in Rome, Italy, where he earned his SSB Re Biblica and finally his SSL Re Biblica from the Pontificum Institutum.

After several years as a professor at a Catholic college, Bill left the academic and religious world and joined TWA as a leadership instructor. He later became manager of organizational development for Bechtel Corporation in San Francisco, and finally vice president of a medical corporation in Georgia.

In 1985, Cummings launched his own company, Cummings Management Consultants. He leads seminars, designs and conducts strategic planning, recruits executives, lectures on leadership, and coaches executives throughout the country.
