Unitarianism The word "Unitarian" historically refers to the oneness of God as opposed to the Trinity of God, referred to as "Trinitarianism". The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, nor is the concept. The naming of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit hardly occurs; except as a echo of a baptismal formula. The doctrine dates from the early Middle Ages, as an effort to reconcile Jewish theology with Greek philosophy, and was adopted as doctrine at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD at the behest of Constantine. At that time the unitarian position was called "Arianism" for its leader Arius of Alexandria. He and the idea were declared heretic, and was killed out except for a few remote Germanic tribes. With the invention of the printing press, and the wide reading of the Bible, people discovered that the Trinity was not there, and Unitarians sprang up all over Europe like crocus. In most places they were killed. Calvin burned the best know Renaissance Unitarian theologian, Servetus, in Geneva. He was burned with a slow fire, taking half an hour to kill him, with his book strapped to his leg. Earlier he had been burned in effigy by Catholics. (Servetus was also doctor, and had discovered the pulmonary circulation of the blood.) Many early Unitarians tended to be scientists or doctors. The Polish king's doctor was Unitarian, and Krakow, Poland, was one of the few place Unitarians were allowed to live without being killed. They gathered there from all over Europe, establishing a university and printing press. Books were smuggled to England, and Unitarianism took root there.

In granting this co-operation each member enjoys complete freedom in his individual religious opinions, and no set of doctrinal propositions could be framed on which all Unitarians would agree. The bond of union between them consists more in their anti-dogmatic tendency than in uniformity of belief. The authority of the Bible is in some degree retained; but its contents are either admitted or repudiated according as they find favor before the supreme, and in this case, exacting tribunal of individual reason.

C HRISTIAN A R ESEARCH M INISTRY www.carm.org HOME PAGE What is Unitarianism? 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. There is a group known as the Unitarian Universalists Association. This denomination which was formed in 1961 in the United States when the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America merged. Its membership is around 175,000. The General Convention of the Unitarian Universalists formulated the five principles of the Universalist Faith in 1899.

Email The Unitarian Society was established in 1791. The term Unitarian began being used in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century. John Biddle (1615-62) is considered to be the first minister to establish a Unitarian congregation in Britain. Another early supporter was Theophilus Lindsey (1723-1808), who built the Essex Street Chapel in London in 1778. However, it was the Nonconformist minister and scientist, Joseph Priestley , who became the most important proponent of unitarianism in 18th century England. After his home was destroyed by a mob in 1791, Priestley emigrated to America. The Unitarians drew their membership to a large extent from the scientific professions and their outlook tended to be rational and individualistic. The original intentions of the movement was to unite all

William Ellery Channing and American Unitarianism In Democracy In America and in his journals and letters Tocqueville noted the Americans' inclination toward Deism. He saw Unitarianism as the last bridge between Christianity and natural religion. In his Essay on American Government and Religion , included in Tocqueville and Beaumont In America , Tocqueville wrote, "On the confines of Protestantism is a sect which is Christian only in name, the Unitarians . ... They are pure Deists. They speak of the Bible because they do not wish to shock public opinion, still entirely Christian , too deeply. ... It's evident that the Protestants whose minds are cold and logical, the argumentative classes, the men whose habits are intellectual and scientific, are grasping the occasion to embrace and entirely philosophic faith which allows them to make almost public profession of pure Deism." In his interview with John Quincy Adams, Tocqueville asked, "do you not see in the Unitarianism of this country the last link that separates Christianity from natural religion?" That Tocqueville saw Unitarianism as an intellectual and religious curiosity is clear. Equally clear is that to understand Unitarian Christianity as it existed in the United States in 1831, he had to meet one man: William Ellery Channing.

UNITARIAN CHRISTIANITY By William Ellery Channing Delivered at the Ordination of Rev. Jared Sparks in The First Independent Church of Baltimore on May 5, 1819. 1 Thes. v. 21: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." There are two natural divisions under which my thoughts will be arranged. I shall endeavour to unfold, 1st, The principles which we adopt in interpreting the Scriptures. And 2dly, Some of the doctrines, which the Scriptures, so interpreted, seem to us clearly to express. I. We regard the Scriptures as the records of God's successive revelations to mankind, and particularly of the last and most perfect revelation of his will by Jesus Christ. Whatever doctrines seem to us to be clearly taught in the Scriptures; we receive without reserve or exception. We do not, however, attach equal importance to all the books in this collection. Our religion, we believe, lies chiefly in the New Testament. The dispensation of Moses, compared with that of Jesus, we consider as adapted to the childhood of the human race, a preparation for a nobler system, and chiefly useful now as serving to confirm and illustrate the Christian Scriptures. Jesus Christ is the only master of Christians, and whatever he taught, either during his personal ministry, or by his inspired Apostles, we regard as of divine authority, and profess to make the rule of our lives. This authority, which we give to the Scriptures, is a reason, we conceive, for studying them with peculiar care, and for inquiring anxiously into the principles of interpretation, by which their true meaning may be ascertained. The principles adopted by the class of Christians in whose name I speak, need to be explained, because they are often misunderstood. We are particularly accused of making an unwarrantable use of reason in the interpretation of Scripture. We are said to exalt reason above revelation, to prefer our own wisdom to God's. Loose and undefined charges of this kind are circulated so freely, that we think it due to ourselves, and to the cause of truth, to express our views with some particularity.

About Unitarianism Unitarians began as dissenters, believing that God was One, not Three.  They have always held that Jesus Christ was a man and though he undoubtedly was exceptional, he was not the God-made-man of most Christian belief.  Unitarians believe that  it is of the utmost importance to try to lead a moral life based on Christian principles.  They do not, however adhere to the Fundamentalists' views on the infallability of the Bible.    Often allied to the Unitarians (specially in the United States) are the Universalists.  They are similar in their approach to religion although the basis of Universalism is the notion that ALL human beings were loved by God and that therefore they could all get to heaven - even if they had never heard of Christianity.  Most Unitarian churches and fellowships in the U.S. are called Unitarian Universalist.  In the U.K. the Unitarian church feels that it already embraces Universalist beliefs.  Here in Australia and New Zealand, some fellowships include the word Universalist and some do not.  This seems to relate to whether the founding members were American or English! Many people ask the question "What do Unitarians believe?"  The following comes from a pamphlet issued by the

Unitarianism Image by courtesy of FreeFoto.com (see links) The Unitarian Faith The Unitarian faith originated in the Middle Ages very largely in the Eastern European countries but centered in Transylvania. The Dissenting church spread to the United Kingdom so that in 1662, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity with the intention of curbing Nonconformist worship. On the eventual repeal of this Act, the first Unitarian Church in England was opened by Theophilus Lindsey in Essex Street, London. Whilst the Unitarians, throughout their history, have always been proud to be considered radical in terms of philosophy and theology, there is, nowadays, an ever-developing sense of change in the beliefs of its members. As a consequence, a range of beliefs in terms of theism and religious aspects together with thoughts on social and humanitarian concerns occupy the thoughts of the congregations. Whilst much of the material for services is taken from Judaeo-Christian sources, reference is also paid to the wisdom of, say, The Budda, Schweitzer and other renowned philosophers from the World's religions. Above all, members of Unitarian churches strongly accept the Freedom to determine one's own beliefs, the Reason behind those beliefs and the Tolerance to accept the beliefs of other people.

19. Unitarianism But it won't be smiling, because something of significant value is gone.unitarianism. General Information unitarianism. Advanced Information http://mb-soft.com/believe/txc/unitaria.htm

Unitarianism General Information Unitarianism is a form of Christianity that asserts that God is one person, the Father, rather than three persons in one, as the doctrine of the Trinity holds. A number of religious groups in Transylvania, Poland, Great Britain, and North America have been designated as unitarian because of this belief. It has not been their only distinguishing mark, however, and at times not even the most important one. As significant has been their confidence in the reasoning and moral abilities of people - in contrast to traditions that emphasize original sin and human depravity - as well as an avoidance of dogma. Modern Unitarianism dates to the period of the Protestant Reformation. A Unitarian movement has existed in Transylvania since the 1560s, when the leader was Francis David (1510 - 79). In Poland, Unitarianism flourished for a hundred years as the Minor Reformed Church until persecution forced (1660) its adherents into exile. The key figure in the Polish movement was Faustus Socinus (1539 - 1604). Isolated individual unitarians lived in England in the 1600s, most notably John Biddle, but Unitarianism developed as a formal movement in the 1700s, partly within the Church of England but mainly in dissenting circles.

The Unitarian movement first emerged into history in sixteenth-century Europe, at a time when the breakdown of one monopoly in organized religion first made it possible for independent thinkers to begin to express themselves. Even so, they were persecuted by Catholics and Protestants alike, and were able to set up Unitarian congregations only in the freer atmosphere of Poland and Transylvania. Later it became possible to organize in the English-speaking world. In this country, the first congregation came into being in Montreal in 1832. At a national level, the congregations across Canada are part of the Canadian Unitarian Council, which resulted from the rapid expansion of the movement in the middle years of the 20th century.
