Missions

sthgrads191120map12The School of Theology’s strong tradition of fostering the study of mission and educating missionaries begins with its founding. The first professor at Boston University’s predecessor institution, the Methodist Biblical Institute, John Dempster, was a missionary in Canada and South America. One of the founders of Boston University, Jacob Sleeper, recorded in the Prudential Committee Minutes of the School of Theology, February 26, 1869: “That a Department for Missionary Instruction be established in the Seminary. The object of this department is to give suitable instruction to young men who design to enter the foreign mission work.” First president of Boston University and Dean of School of Theology, William F. Warren, was a missionary in Bremen, Germany and married to Mrs. Harriet Warren, founder of Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, Methodist Episcopal Church.

Below is a partial list of cross-cultural missionaries and students of mission from Boston University compiled by Dana Robert and Steve Pentek, with assistance from Gerald Anderson, Paul Deats, and Walter Muelder. This includes only those in cross-cultural work, or with degrees in mission studies, and does not include graduates returning to their own country with degrees in other fields.
