William Godsell Wright (13 March 1904 - 4 August 1973) was an Episcopal prelate who served as Bishop of Nevada from 1960 to 1972.

Education

Wright was born on March 13, 1904 in Greenville, Illinois, the son of William Clifford Wright and Edith Browning. He graduated with a Bachelors degree from the University of Illinois and later from the General Theological Seminary with a Bachelor of Sacred Theology. After ordination, he served as rector of St Paul's Church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio and later as rector of St Clement's Church in El Paso, Texas. In 1953, he also became the director of the National Council's Home Department. [1]

In 1959 Wright was elected missionary Bishop of Nevada. He was consecrated on February 4, 1960 by presiding Bishop Arthur C. Lichtenberger in Trinity Church in Reno, Nevada. During his time in Nevada, four new Episcopal churches were established in the state. He retired by the end of 1971.[2]
