Extractions: The earliest organised Unitarian movements were founded in the 16th century in Poland and Transylvania. In Britain, a number of early radical reformers professed Unitarian beliefs in the 16th and 17th centuries, some suffering imprisonment and martyrdom. An organised Unitarian movement did not emerge in Britain until the late 18th century. The first avowedly Unitarian church in Britain was opened in Essex Street, London, in 1774. Denominational structures were developed during the 19th century, finally uniting in the present General Assembly in 1928.

http://www.piney.com/RmACUnitarian.html

Extractions: Alexander Campbell rejecs trinitarianism as unscriptural unintelligible barbarous phraseology polytheism. Alexander Campbell is consistent with all of the ancient theologians and denominational founders we have been able to consult. John Calvin would repudiate modern tri-theism or polytheism along with all of the rest. The word is not "person" but " personae ." Thus, Paul Tillich wrote that before the liberal 19th century calling God a "person" would have been heretical Therefore, Thomas Campbell repudiated worshiping the Holy Spirit and to worship the names of three "gods" is rank polytheism. Most of this is neo-Pentecostalism. And before the mid 20th century identifying God as three individual separated members of the Godhead was not taught. The acceptance of "The Holy Trinity" among some modern Restoration Movement groups is best understood by the book by Boles, H. Leo, The Holy Spirit, Gospel Advocate, P. 20-21, and Boles in Sept. 1, 1966, p. 2, Fall Quarter, Foundations, Gospel Advocate. Review Here It is expected, therefore, that churces fed by this view have no shame in worshiping "The Blessed Trinity" and worshiping the three 'names' of Father, Son and Spirit. There is only "one name."

Wilbur's History , published in two volumes in 1945 and 1952, drew on themes he had first laid out in 1925 in Our Unitarian Heritage . Wilbur's writings, which drew on quite substantial research in primary sources, primarily traced the history of Unitarian beliefs in Europe, especially Eastern Europe.

Extractions: His family connection had been with the orthodox Congregational church in Jericho, and he had intended to enter the orthodox ministry until he discovered that he had reached theological beliefs unacceptable to that fellowship. So after graduation he accepted an invitation to become an assistant to Rev. Thomas L. Eliot of the Unitarian Church in Portland, Oregon. In 1892 he was ordained, and later succeeded Dr. Eliot as minister of the church. In 1898 he married Dr. Eliot's daughter Dorothea, and, after a year of study in Europe, moved to Meadville, Pennsylvania, to become minister of the Independent Congregational Church of that city where he also did some teaching in the Meadville Theological School. In 1904 funds were donated to establish the Pacific Unitarian School for the Ministry, and Wilbur was asked to become its Dean and to plan its development. He served the School in this capacity (with the title of President after 1911) until 1931. The task proved to be difficult and arduous, but with self-sacrificing devotion he succeeded in creating a small but efficient seminary primarily intended to serve Unitarian churches on the Pacific Coast.

It gives this webpage a presentation of my opinions in early 2002 about the drift of Unitarianism and my relationship with it and Anglicans (briefly). In so far as there is editing, it is to make clear and strip away the discussion so that a series of statements follow instead. Poststructuralism and Liberalism Liberalism a problem in Unitarianism Why attend in a Unitarian setting? Creedlessness and the Object ... Unitarianism and the future I have no formal links with Unitarianism; I attend from time to time the Hull Unitarian Church which is not an enjoyable experience. I go almost from a sense of duty, and a declining one. The spirituality of the Anglican church over the road from here is more me, though the words are several stages removed from what I think. This is a dilemma that is not new, but the words at the Unitarian church have also moved away from me. And when I take a service, it is clear that I am speaking to no one who thinks like me or near. To some extent, it amounts to the same thing either to suspend final judgement on the post structuralist position and to use it, or to be a completely convinced user of it. I like my cake and eating it, so I am convinced of it in religion but not in some other spheres, but go on using it. There are different results by using falsifiability in science which is unavailable in the arts or religion.

http://www.change.freeuk.com/learning/relthink/talk.html

Extractions: by Adrian Worsfold There is only history and sociology as a moving escalator of ongoing theologies. I want to suggest how the whole of Unitarian history is all about a lack of agreement on definitions. In one key sense this is its great promise, that it can be so diverse, and it can generate a positive experience of plurality in proximity within its walls. It can offer this as a gospel of toleration to a fractured world. Of course I am now giving my definition of what makes Unitarianism unique. Plurality is its sense of definition. I really do think that, more than the Church of England and its varieties, more than, say, Western forms of Buddhism and their cultural adaptations and traditions, more than the Quakers and their tolerance under the received voice of God, this Church can promote humans living in plurality and difference. But, like I say, this is my view and there are no agreed definitions. Others have other ideas on what Unitarianism is about. It has always been like this, of course, but suddenly this lack of identity matters for the very survival of the denomination. For between 1994 and 1996 alone - two years - the membership of the denomination dropped by nearly 8% to around 6000 people. And as the age range remains top heavy so this decline will continue. Some of the around 170 functioning independent congregations are now very weak. So I shall speak about: how Unitarianism got to where it is and where it is going, and where it could go if it got its act together. To do this I also wish to draw on local experience in Hull.

Extractions: Unitarianism traces its roots to 16th-century Transylvania, a separate kingdom, where the people were ethnically Hungarian, where the radical theologian, Francis David converted the King of Transylvania, John Sigismund, and much of the population to the idea of one God. Transylvania was a Catholic kingdom, at the beginning of the 16th century, as was most of Europe, but with the invention of the printing press and publication of the Bible, religious reformation came about with leaders like Luther and Calvin. was a prominent religious leader in Transylvania who was always questioning the established religions. In his lifetime he went from being Catholic, to Lutheran to Calvinist and finally founded Unitarianism when he became convinced that there was no basis for belief in the Trinity. He believed that " God is One " ("

Dark blue trousers with gold stripes, and black silk cocked hat. The undress coats are frock coat, which may be worn with epaulettes, and double-breasted jumper, both having plain cuffs with rings of gold lace. The undress cap is a peaked cap with gold badge. Certain petty officers wear blue jumpers, the rest and the sailors wear sailors dress (Plate IV., line 3, No. 7). White is worn in the tropics, with white pith helmets in the case of officers and broad-brimmed straw hats in that of the sailors. Royal Marine Artillery and Royal Marine Light Infantry are dressed as artillery and infantry of the army, with certain distinctions; they may always be recognized by the badge of a globe within a laurel wreath. (Plate IV., line 3, No. I.) The uniforms of other navies are very similar to those of the British. The old-fashioned jacket worn over the sailor blouse, and the conspicuous white lapels of the full-dress coat, are the principal peculiarities of the German navy. The Spanish naval officer has red lapels. A very marked peculiarity of the Austrian navy is that the officers, dressed in all other respects similarly to the naval officers of other countries, have the military tunic. The marines, where they exist, conform to the infantry of the respective land forces in most respects; the German marines, however, wear the Jager shako, and navy-blue uniforms with white collars and cuffs.

Extractions: Speaker: Rev. Charles Howe "If you don't know who you was, you don't know who you is; and if you don't know who you is, you ain't nobody." So spoke Alex Haley's grandmother. The Rev. Charles Howe helped us know who we 'is' by leading us down the stream of modern Unitarian thought, from its headwaters in 16th century Spain to Geneva, where Michael Servetus was executed. The outcry after Servetus was burned stimulated two new branches, one led by Francis David to Transylvania, another with Socinus to Poland, and from there eventually to England and the USA. Parts of this stream appeared to dry up, but recently it has begun to flow again in 20 countries. Dr Howe believes the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU) is an organization whose time has come. "Grab the moment," he urged. "It is time for us to leave our isolationism behind us and look at UU through a global lens".

http://www.westwoodunitarian.ca/history.htm

Extractions: Contact The roots of the Unitarian movement lie principally in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. At that time, many people began to claim: Many came to question orthodox Christian doctrine and to affirm beliefs of their own which included: The theological roots of Unitarianism are found in 16th century Europe (Hungary, Poland and Romania) where some biblical scholars rejected the idea of the trinitarian Christian God, claiming that a single God was more consistent with the Bible. Hence the name Unitarian. Also at that time, the first Act of Religious Toleration in Europe, granting religious freedom, was legislated in Transylvania, where the king and his subjects were largely Unitarian. Fleeing religious persecution, Unitarians came to North America from Britain in the 17th century. Unitarian ideas, including congregational polity and transcendentalism, evolved in New England, and as the churches organized, Unitarianism spread west in the US and north to Canada. However, the first Unitarian churches in Canada, established in the 19th century, were served by ministers from Ireland, England, and America. In Britain, the development of Unitarianism was slower, since professing Unitarian ideas was a criminal offence for a long time, and Unitarians were banned from public office until 1828.

Extractions: given at UUs of Petaluma, October 6, 2002 Introduction We don't hear about Unitarianism much these days-only about Unitarian-Universalism. We run into the occasional Unitarian in the history books, or when used by a non-UU, and which, when we hear it, seems somehow jarring, and wrong, and think the usage quaint, and not-quite-with-it. In our denomination's publicity, I have seen famous Unitarians described as Unitarian Universalists, which they most certainly were not. When in the company of UUs, if I describe myself as a Unitarian, I am corrected-"Unitarian Universalist !" I confess I sometimes do it now just for the shock value. Since the merger in 1961 of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America, it seems we have a new religion -Unitarian Universalism-which, in my view, submerges two distinct outlooks and traditions into a kind of mush. The merger was done to save Universalism, and to strengthen Unitarianism. But the mushy merger has been a clear detriment to the Universalists-and to the Unitarians as well, although I don't think they realize it. I will have more to say about this when we talk about Universalism, next month. Wood block print by Deborah Bond-Upson History Let us begin near the beginning, in the ferment of the revolutionary ideas let loose by the Reformation and its antecedents. You will recall that the New Learning of the Renaissance, combined with the corruption of the Catholic Church gave birth to the Protestant Reformation. Suddenly it was possible for ordinary people-not just theologians and scholars-to 'think outside the box.'

http://www.uuokc.org/a_short_history_of_unitarianism.htm

Extractions: A Short History of Unitarianism and Universalism Because there have always been men and women who question the religion handed them in childhood, a religion of the free mind, like today's Unitarian Universalists, was inevitable. If the specific events and personalities that shaped this religious movement had never existed other religious liberals would have filled the vacuum. Though it would be known by a different name, this religion of the free mind would exist today. Nevertheless, there are those illustrious personalities who forged the way during difficult times. Struggling against ostracism, violence, and even murder they moved through history down the separate paths to Unitarianism and Universalism. The Unitarian and Universalist movements both germinated in specific religious issues. Both grew to encompass religious doubters of many views, and both eventually welcomed to their ranks all thoughtful men and women who would accept the right of others to have different views. Though Jesus had been dead several hundred years before the word "Unitarian" came into use, the movement that eventually acquired that label began shortly after his death. Then, many who knew Jesus talked of his humanity and his teachings, while others who had only heard of him touted his divinity and began to construct a religion that was more about him than of him.

http://www.carm.net/uni/unitarianism.htm

Extractions: Unitarianism is the belief that God exists in one person, not three. It is a denial of the doctrine of the Trinity as well as the full divinity of Jesus. Therefore, it is not Christian. There are several groups that fall under this umbrella: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphianism, The Way International, etc. Another term for this type of belief is called monarchianism. In the context of universalism, the Unitarianism discussed here is that belief that denies the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, eternal punishment, and the vicarious atonement of Jesus. Unitarian universalists use many biblical concepts and terms but with non-biblical meanings. Unitarianism is not Christian.

Extractions: DIVISION IV. UNITARIANISM IN TRANSYLVANIA CHAPTER XXI Down to the Beginning of Unitarianism in Transylvania in 1564 Transylvania formed (until the World War) the eastern quarter of the old kingdom of Hungary, to which it bore much the same relation as Scotland to England. It is about half as large as the state of Maine, or a quarter larger than Switzerland; hedged in on all sides by the lofty snow-capped Carpathians and other mountains, forest-covered, as the name of the country implies. It has a great variety of grand and beautiful natural scenery, and has been called the Switzerland of Hungary. One traveler writes that whereas other lands are beautiful in spots, Transylvania is all beauty; while another calls it a sort of earthly paradise. It has an agreeable climate, a fertile soil, and great mineral wealth; and ever since Roman times its mines have supplied a large part of the gold of Europe. century to settle and guard the frontier country, which repeated wars had left a wilderness; Christianity is said to have reached Hungary even before Trajan, and the Goths in the fourth century fostered the Arianism which they professed. At the end of the eighth century, however, the Avars were converted to Catholic Christianity under Charlemagne, and when Transylvania was conquered in 1002 by St. Stephen, the first Christian king of Hungary, its inhabitants perforce accepted his religion. Hungary was too far away from Rome, however, and the Hungarians were of too independent spirit, for the Roman Church to gain complete power there. The simple, scriptural form of Christianity taught by the Albigenses and Waldenses was widely spread from the twelfth to the fourteenth century, and the reformation of the Hussites won many adherents a century later; and much persecution failed to suppress these heresies. The soil was thus well prepared for the Protestant Reformation.

Extractions: DIVISION V. UNITARIANISM IN ENGLAND CHAPTER XXVII The Pioneers of Unitarianism in England, to 1644 Thus far the path of our history has never been long or far out of sight of the stake, the block, or the prison; and the impression that remains most vivid with us out of the story of Unitarianism on the Continent is that of the persecutions it had to suffer. It will be a relief, therefore, to enter upon a further stage of our journey from which persecution is largely absent. In England, it is true, as we shall soon see, a few in the first century of the Reformation were put to death, and more were imprisoned, for denying the doctrine of the Trinity; but long before Unitarianism began to be an organized movement there, capital punishment, or even imprisonment, for heresy had ceased in England, and by comparison with what their brethren on the continent had suffered, the civil oppressions that English Unitarians had to endure can be called hardly more than inconveniences. among the Remonstrants in Holland Not heresy in points of doctrine, but nonconformity in service of worship, was regarded as the great offense, and was most often punished under the laws.
