Bill Wilson

Bill Wilson (* 1948) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor und Gründer des christlichen Kinderhilfswerks Metro World Child in New York. Bekannt wurde er durch die Entwicklung mobiler Strassensonntagsschulen und seinen langjährigen Einsatz für benachteiligte Kinder in sozialen Brennpunkten. Für Bibelleser steht sein Werk für eine praktische Zuwendung zu Notleidenden, wird nach seinem Rücktritt im Jahr 2024 wegen unangemessenen Verhaltens jedoch auch an den Massstäben geistlicher Integrität gemessen.

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
