"This report will compare congregational leadership thought and practice with traditional Adventist organizational practice in ways not altogether favorable. Bill Shull describes a non-participative, top-down, stratified institutionalism now struggling with the question of gender justice, as we close out Pride Month on the same Sabbath as the new 3-year nominating report is voted. Can Adventism's "foremost congregation" learn to love its LGBTQ+ members?"

He also has an M.Mus. in Vocal Performance. He is a leader of LLUC Sabbath Seminars, and believes that Sabbath Seminars is that special place "where two or three are gathered together." He and other class members were observers for Sabbath Seminars at the class' request; this presentation includes Bill's report as an observer.
