The Bushnell University Saga

Wisdom, Faith, and Service captures the essence of the institutional vocation and mission of Bushnell University from its founding in 1895. The Bushnell Saga­ – past, present, and future­ – is shaped and framed by the individual “wisdom, faith, and service sagas” of Bushnell People­ – women, men, professors, students, alumni, administrators, and countless friends­ – whose own vocational callings have contributed to and benefited from the saga of this institution. In this book, current Bushnell People reflect theologically and practically on the University’s mission and share the stories of other Bushnell People whose lives embody the high calling of wisdom, faith, and service.

Wisdom, Faith, and Service is the inspiring saga of Bushnell University, a Christian college founded in the nineteenth century whose administrators, faculty, and alumni have not abandoned their Christian roots during the past five generations. This is an enlightening story of how wisdom, faith, and service came to define and personify the institutional vocation and mission of a thriving Christian educational institution in the twenty-first century.”
