The Rev. William L. Dols, a noted Bible scholar and interpreter, will be the Episcopal speaker July 28, Aug. 25 and Sept. 22 on 'Day 1,' formerly known as 'The Protestant Hour,' a nationally broadcast radio program also accessible via streaming audio at www.Day1.net.

An Episcopal priest for 43 years, Dols has served congregations in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina and as executive director of The Educational Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

He recently served as minister of education at Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Born in Baltimore, Dols is a graduate of Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, and Virginia Theological Seminary. He is a fellow of the College of Preachers at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. He is now retired and living in Alexandria, Virginia.
'Day 1' has been broadcast as 'The Protestant Hour' every week for more than 57 years, winning numerous awards in the process, including the George Foster Peabody Award for broadcast excellence. It is produced cooperatively by the Episcopal Media Center, the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the United Church of Christ.
