Joseph Twichell was installed as pastor in the Asylum Hill Congregational chapel this afternoon.
The event proceeded as follows:
The reading was 2nd Corinthians 4. The sermon was from Luke 24:49. Joel Hawes also participated in the event.
The participants on the examination council included all of the ministers (except Twichell) who participated in the installation service plus Joel Hawes. Also participating was the pastor from the Congregational church in Franklin and the pastors “of the five Congregational churches in Hartford.” Since Asylum Hill Congregational was the seventh, one church is missing from this calculation.
Twichell accepted the church’s call on August 8, 1865.
“In the latter [Bushnell] took occasion to congratulate the church on having a young pastor with whom they could grow up.”
