Description:The University of Wisconsin and the Ideal of Nonsectarianism illuminates the long arc of UW's relationship to organized religion, especially Christianity. After its founding in 1848, the school promoted a vision of public higher education that was thoroughly Protestant, but also detached from any particular denominational, or "sectarian," expression. This posture both persisted and changed in interesting ways over the following century, facilitating a robust and vibrant-and ever shifting-relationship between the university, students, and religious institutions. Eras of religiosity and changing religious demographics reshaped the university's mission, campus architecture, and student life. As religious expression diversified in the twentieth century, and as wider religious pluralism became a reality at UW, the ideal of nonsectarianism came under intense pressure. Today its legacy is mixed, but it remains a key to understanding UW's history and enduring relationship to religion. This essay, written by historian Daniel G. Hummel, Upper House's Director of University Engagement, offers the first sustained treatment of UW's relationship to organized religion encompassing its full 175-year history. It has been supported by Upper House and the Higher Pursuits Project, through a grant awarded by the John Templeton Foundation. In its role as a Christian Study Center, Upper House is dedicated to serving the University of Wisconsin-Madison and engaging in thoughtful dialogue on questions of faith and higher learning.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
