Fr. Bill Breedlove

Fr. Bill was born in Heidelberg, Germany and grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is a former Roman Catholic who was introduced to the Episcopal Church by his wife, Susan. Their first date was actually to church at her home parish, St. John’s in Tallahassee, Florida. The Baptist church was an important part of his life when he was a preteen. He is a fan of Jesus and the church, and college sports, especially SEC football and ACC basketball. He enjoys music and movies, hopes to get back into golf and playing guitar, and has friends and family of all kinds from super‐conservative to ultra‐liberal, gay and straight, white and Hispanic, Asian and African‐American. Fr. Bill holds an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice, a Masters and PhD in Sociology, and a Masters of Divinity from Nashotah House Theological Seminary. Before joining the Good Shepherd family, Fr. Bill was Assistant Rector for Family Life and Youth Ministries St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Mission, Kansas. He has held the positions of Associate Professor of Sociology, and Director of the Center for Effective Teaching and Learning at the College of Charleston. He is married to Susan Morgan, and has two daughters, Talley and Mary.
