Hockley, William Harold, 1918-2012

Hockley was born in Canada and came to the United States at the age of 17. His time in Appalachia took place in Tennessee, where he studied at Johnson Bible College (now Johnson University) in Knoxville, served as chairman of the board of the Emmanuel School of Religion (now Emmanuel Christian Seminary) in Johnson City, and participated in the February 1965 Appalachian Preaching Mission, also in Johnson City. Outside the region, he worked in Indiana and spent 34 years as pastor of the Westwood-Cheviot Christian Church (now Whitewater Crossing) in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Additional information can be found in an obituary published in the Columbus Dispatch in September 2012.

Hockley User Guide

Robert H. Ellison

The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.

At the moment, Hockley has only one sermon in the Library; it has a Guide of its own so the records will be complete. It includes the title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.
