We welcomed Bishop Richard Wilke to the pulpit today. Bishop Wilke is the author of And Are We Yet Alive? and Signs and Wonders. With his wife, Julia, Bishop Wilke coordinated, designed, and wrote the DISCIPLE Bible study, a training for Christian leaders, with nearly two million graduates in more than 10,000 congregations in 30 denominations. During his 30 years in the pastoral ministry, Wilke pastored several United Methodist Churches in Kansas, and served as district superintendent for the Winfield District. Elected to the episcopacy of the United Methodist Church in 1984, Bishop Wilke served for 12 years in the Arkansas area. He also has traveled in South America, Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Near East. He is widely known as a speaker and preacher, often serving as conference preacher and keynote speaker at regional and national meetings.
