William J. U. Philip

Who is William J. U. Philip?

William James Unwin Philip is minister of The Tron Church in city-centre Glasgow, Scotland. He originally came to Glasgow after 5 years with the Proclamation Trust in London. He is the son of James Philip, who had a significant ministry in Holyrood Abbey Church in Edinburgh, and the nephew of George Philip, who ministered in Glasgow at Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church.

Originally training as a medical doctor, and specialising in cardiology, he left the medical profession to focus full-time on preaching and teaching the Bible. William Still in Aberdeen was a significant influence. In London as Director of Ministry for the Proclamation Trust, he oversaw major improvements in branding, resources and publicity, as well as forming a good friendship with Dick Lucas, former Rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate.

Since moving to Glasgow, he has been involved with the formation of Cornhill Scotland, which began a Scottish Training Course in 2006, in connection with the Proclamation Trust and with the help of Rev. Edward Lobb, a former vicar in the Church of England.
