William Thomas Moore was an American clergyman of the Disciples of Christ.
Background
William T. Moore was born on August 27, 1832, in New Castle, Kentucky. His father, Richard Moore, was of Irish ancestry; his mother, Nancy M. Jones, of Scotch extraction. They moved from Virginia to Kentucky and thence to Indiana, where Richard Moore died when William Thomas, the eldest son among six children, was nine years old. The family then returned to Kentucky, and William within a few years was its chief support.
Education
At eighteen he had received practically no schooling but had read the Bible and a few histories.
In 1850 Moore entered an academy at New Castle, Kentucky. He then taught and preached, and in 1855 entered Bethany College, Virginia (now West Virginia), graduating in 1858.
Career
For six years thereafter he was pastor at Frankfort, Kentucky. From January 1865 to February 1866 he was pastor of the Jefferson Avenue Christian Church, Detroit, Michigan.
Thence he was called to a professorship in Kentucky University and later elected to a pastorate in Cincinnati, Ohio. He accepted the pastorate conditionally, served as professor at Kentucky University for one year, 1866 - 1867, at the same time teaching sacred rhetoric and ecclesiastical history at the College of the Bible, Lexington, and for two years thereafter delivered a brief course of lectures annually at Kentucky University. During his Cincinnati pastorate he made his congregation the largest and most far-reaching in influence of any in his brotherhood. He was a member of the executive committee of the American Christian Missionary Society and of the committee to revise the church hymnbook (1864). He was chairman of a committee of twenty which drafted a plan of work adopted in 1869 by the national convention of the Society at Louisville, Kentucky.
In 1874, realizing that the "Louisville Plan" was unsatisfactory, he called a meeting and urged the organization of a foreign-missionary society. As a result, during the convention of 1875, the Foreign Christian Missionary Society was formed. Moore was vice-president, 1875 - 1877, secretary, 1876 - 1877, and member of the board of managers, 1883 - 1884.
In July 1878 he entered the service of the Society. After preaching for three years in Southport and Liverpool, England, he was for ten years minister at the West London Tabernacle. While here, in 1881, he began to publish the Christian Commonwealth, which he edited actively for sixteen years, and by proxy through his eldest son, Paul, for five years more.
In 1896 he became dean of the Bible College of Missouri, a new school established in Columbia, Missouri, by the Disciples of Christ, adjacent to the University of Missouri, to train young men for the ministry and to supply to university students such religious studies as a tax-supported institution cannot offer. He remained in Columbia until 1909, serving for part of the time as chaplain and professor in the Christian College there, an institution for women. From 1897 to 1900 he edited the Christian Quarterly, which he had founded and edited from 1869 to 1877.
In 1909 he moved to Florida, where he spent his remaining years. He died on September 6, 1926, at Orlando, Florida, at the age of ninety-four.
