62. UUCA Sermon - Unitarianism -- At Most, One God! - Sunday, July 23, 2000 “unitarianism At most, one God!”. Rev. Across the Atlantic, unitarianismwas taking root at a much faster pace in the new colonies of America. http://www.uucava.org/sermons/unitarianism.htm

Rev. Michael A. McGee Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington July 23, 2000 I warn you that I will be dishing out some history this morning, since our history is the foundation of our faith. But please keep in mind the people behind the history: their struggles, their yearnings, their sacrifices. And keep in mind as well that you are a part of that history. You are the keepers of the dream. What does it mean to be a Unitarian? As most of you know, the chalice is the symbol of our faith. The chalice has long been an inspiring symbol for religious liberals since the early 15th century when the Czeck Catholic priest, Jan Hus, insisted that the chalice of communion should not be administered by a priest but should be passed from person to person. That democratic gesture resulted in Hus being burned at the stake. During World War II, the chalice became the symbol of the Unitarian Service Committee as it desperately tried to save Jews from the holocaust. After the war, the chalice became a symbol of the American Unitarian Association. The chalice can mean many things. The flame can signify transcendence and the triumph of truth over superstition and fear. It can also be an invitation to share in the warmth of fellowship.

Unitarianism We Are One! Reverend Michael A. McGee portraying The Reverend William Ellery Channing Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington Sunday, August 12, 2001 Good day to all of you.  It’s so wonderful to be here this morning – especially considering the alternative.  My name is William Ellery Channing, and I am dead.  I hope you don’t hold that against me. I do appreciate the opportunity to be temporarily revived  for this morning’s service by your good minister, Michael McGee.  He tells me that this time of year many people are what he calls “church shopping,” and that it would be of great benefit if I informed these visitors as to the nature of the Unitarian faith, as well as reminding many of you who have been members for a longer period of time about why this faith is so vital to our lives. I’m certainly impressed by what I see before me: a Unitarian Universalist Church – I understand you’ve merged with the Universalist since my demise – with 1,000 members, a beautiful building, progressive programs, and all outside the confines of New England.  I congratulate all of you on helping our movement not only to survive but to thrive so vigorously. I am somewhat surprised by the informality of your dress as well as the lack of proper tradition in your worship.  Your “Sharing of Joys and Sorrows” is especially new to me.  But your minister has warned me that times certainly have changed during the more than two centuries since I was born, so I will attempt to practice tolerance in my attitude, and I ask you to do the same.

The first use of the word appears to have been in Transylvania in 1568, when the Reformation was a mere 50 years old. With roots in the Radical wing of the Reformation of the early 16th century, Unitarianism has long pursued a more rationalistic approach to religion and Christianity. According to Unitarianism, God has but a single personality and form, while Jesus was only a human. Other traditional doctrines rejected by Unitarians are the Fall, Atonement, and eternal punishment in hell. Unitarianism moved from a doctrine to a denomination in the early 19th century in England and the United States through the work of Christians who adhered to Arminian Theology, and in the 1960s American Unitarianism dissociated itself from Christianity generally. For Unitarians, religion is treated as something like a refined moral sensibility rather than a commitment to a life-long spiritual transformation as in some Christian groups.

Page 392 LECTURE 2 NOTE C.P. 45. MODERN UNITARIANISM. T HE completeness with which modern Unitarianism has divested itself of every trace of the supernatural will be seen from the following extracts. Dr. Martineau, criticising Mr. Greg's Creed of Christendom, Nineteenth Century, February 1883. What even Mr. Greg desires to retain of reverence for the spiritual perfection of Jesus, Mr. F. W. Newman, in his review of the volume, regards only as an amiable weakness, in total inconsistency with Mr. Greg's own principles of treatment of the Gospels. See passage quoted in Note F. to Lecture I. (from Fortnightly Review, vol. xiv.). In his Loss and Gain in Recent Theology (1881), Dr. Martineau sets himself explicitly to state the position of present-day Unitarianism; and the two gains he principally notices are: "the total disappearance from our branch of the Reformed Churches of all external authority in matters of religion" ("the yoke of the Bible follows the yoke of the Church," p. 9); and, second, "the disappearance of the entire Messianic theology." "As objective reality, as a faithful representation of our invisible and ideal universe, it is

67. Unitarianism Edwards' Views on the Trinity. What were Edwards' views on the Trinity? Whateverthey were they have been a subject of controversy for over two centuries. http://www.americanpresbyterianchurch.org/unitarianism1.htm

Edwards' Views on the Trinity Since Edwards is so highly thought of as a paragon of Calvinist orthodoxy and many of his admirers may react in shock to these views of his I offer the following articles as documentation. The Biblical Doctrine of the Trinity By B. B. Warfield Dr. Warfield wrote an article on the Trinity which was published in 1915. In it he included a brief review of Edwards' essay on the Trinity. I include the relevent excerpt as demonstrating that Warfield had reviwed this essay, had accepted it as genuine, and concurs in the above summation of its contents. Warfield rejected Edwards' views although he did not condemn them as heterodox. However, from the man who accepted evolution and feminism, etc., perhaps that is all we could have expected.

68. Unitarianism for in that work Watts took an Arian position and was headed straight down the roadwhich led, a generation or two later, to early English unitarianism.”3. http://www.americanpresbyterianchurch.org/unitarianism.htm

In this section we will deal briefly with the question, “Was Isaac Watts a Unitarian?” There is considerable evidence that Watts held Arian or Unitarian opinions. At the very least, as we have already noted, “Watts’ views on the Trinity were highly suspect.” This is confirmed by a number of independent sources. The root of many of these allegations against Watts’ orthodoxy with respect to the deity of Jesus Christ stem from his own writings. As one authority states it, “His theological as well as philosophical fame was considerable. His ‘ Speculations on the Human Nature of the Logos, ’ as a contribution to the great controversy on the Holy Trinity, brought on him a charge of Arian opinions.” In other works as well Watts took essentially Arian positions. “It is true that Mather's enthusiasm for Watts was greatly diminished at a later date, when the latter published his Disquisitions. Mather's conservative soul was alarmed by Watts' theological liberalism, and on January 28th, 1726/7, he wrote to Thomas Prince, the then youthful minister of the Old South, denouncing Watts as ‘a very Disqualified person,’ and ‘too shallow’ to deal with theology, and warning Prince to beware of him. And, from his point of view, he was right, for in that work Watts took an Arian position and was headed straight down the road which led, a generation or two later, to early English Unitarianism.” “His attitude towards Christ may in large measure have reflected his own belief in the everlasting humanity of Christ. Nowadays in studying his hymns we may perhaps not realize that he entertained peculiar views on the Glorified Humanity of Christ. For the most part, his original ideas on Christ and the Trinity never reached a wide public, and because he became known as a writer of hymns and psalms, his dangerous tracts were conveniently forgotten.”

Unitarianism Why is Unitarian Universalism a good spiritual choice for GLBT people? As a gay man, I know how lucky I am to be a Unitarian Universalist. My congregation honors all aspects of my identity, including my sexual orientation. It's a real microcosm of my ideal of a just society, where differences are celebrated and honesty is accepted and affirmed. Roger Jones, Second Unitarian Church, Chicago I was raised in a mainstream Protestant denomination that invalidated my life as a lesbian by condemning me and others like me to invisibility. Hoping for a place to explore my spirituality, I left that denomination in pain, confusion, and separation. For ten years I had no religious community... Imagine my delight at discovering in Unitarian Universalism a religious tradition that stands for the inherent worth and dignity of me. My life partner and I were welcomed into our church, accepted as a couple, and our lives were affirmed as ones of worth, importance, and visibility. I am thankful for this community that says yes to me. Carole Yorke, First Unitarian Society, Plainfield, New Jersey

UNITARIANISM Jean’s need for community was evident throughout her life. Upon moving to Las Vegas she and her husband sought out the local fellowship of Unitarian Universalists, as they had done in other cities. The group was not very well organized, however, and not many people responded to the Fords’ attempts to create more of a Unitarian family. They abandoned their involvement with the local group and instead joined the Church of the Larger Fellowship, which provided Unitarian materials such as sermons and magazines through the mail. Later in her life, after moving to Carson City, Jean became deeply involved with the Reno Fellowship, serving as President from 1994 to 1996. Unitarian philosophy fit in perfectly with Jean’s beliefs. She related to the Unitarian focus on life on earth rather than the hereafter and she was very much in tune with basic Unitarian concepts such as helping others, acceptance of others, and respect for the democratic process.

"Five-Point Unitarianism" Rev. Paul Beedle, Universalist Unitarian Church of Riverside, 1/14/2001 READING: from the Autobiography of James Freeman Clarke, E. E. Hale, ed. [Like our own George Deere, James Freeman Clarke did not complete his autobiography. The unfinished manuscript was put together with his diaries and correspondence by the then-famous orator, Edward Everett Hale. (Hale is the speaker whose long and ornate speech at the ceremonies on the battlefield was completely forgotten after Lincoln stood up and delivered his Gettysburg Address.) This exerpt is from a portion of the Autobiography that was written by Mr. Hale, in which he describes Harvard College as it was when James Freeman Clarke attended it.] This will be a proper place to speak of a certain enthusiastic expectation which at that time quickened the lives of all young people in New England who had been trained in the freer schools of religion. The group of leaders who surrounded Dr. Channing had, with him, broken forever from the fetters of Calvinistic theology. These young people were trained to know that human nature is not totally depraved. They were taught that there is nothing of which it is not capable. From Dr. Channing down, every writer and preacher believed in the infinite power of education. ... [T]he young New Englanders of liberal training rushed into life, certain that the next half century was to see a complete moral revolution in the world. ... They were not quite sure what they were to do about it, but they knew something was to be done. ...

-Unitarianism is centred around personal experience. There is a high value placed on human intellect, reason and intuition. -Unitarianism has had a very difficult past, struggling against various other religious groups in Britain. THESIS: Evidence of Barbauld's Unitarian faith in her poem 'Corsica'. 1. Social and political pressure against Unitarians, caused Barbauld to be constantly under attack and needing defend her belief system. Her strength under such attacks probably strengthened her political opinions as well. Barbauld was taught to exercise her freedom of mind through religious persecution, and 'Corsica' is a poem chalk full of political opinions. 2. Barbauld could easily relate to the Corsican people, as she belonged to a small group which struggled against a larger group - like Corsica against France. 3. In 'Corsica', Barbauld mentions individual people a few times (Paoli, James Boswell and the poet, herself). This indicates the poet's awareness of the role of the individual in politics. This awareness may arise from the importance of the individual in Unitarianism. 4. Paoli is described as almost Christ-like in 'Corsica'. Barbauld's portrait of Paoli, may have been strongly influenced by the great value placed on the individual in Unitarianism, as well as the fact that Unitarians think that Christ was a supreme human, not God.

"THE CRADLE OF UNITARIANISM" A Sermon by the Rev. Bruce Clear Sunday, October 7, 2001 All Souls Unitarian Church Indianapolis, Indiana For most Unitarians in the twenty-first century, Unitarianism is a very modern religion. And of course, it is. We do not talk about ancient creeds and traditions that survive through the centuries. Most of us the vast majority of us were born in some other religious tradition and chose to be Unitarian. In that choosing, we often seem to encounter Unitarianism as a fresh, new religious approach, and seem to give little thought to its tradition and roots. Peter Raible, a retired Unitarian minister from Seattle, addressed a gathering of Unitarians in a 400 year old Unitarian congregation in Transylvania, and put it this way: “It is a deep privilege to be here. I live in a land where 9/10 of Unitarians did not grow up Unitarian. Some tend to think that Unitarianism began last Tuesday when they walked in the door. Knowing about Transylvania gives them a heritage. I say to them: Transylvania is our holy land.”

"the little church with a lot of room" HOME Contact Us Although our name is Clifton Unitarian Church, we are a Unitarian Universalist Church. The two existing religions combined in 1961. Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion born of the Jewish and Christian traditions. We keep our minds open to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience, and reason should be the final authorities in religion. In the end religious authority lies not in a book, person, or institution, but in ourselves. We put religious insights to the test of our hearts and minds. We uphold the free search for truth. We will not be bound by a statement of belief. We do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed. We say ours is a non-creedal religion. Ours is a free faith. We believe that religious wisdom is ever changing. Human understanding of life and death, the world and its mysteries, is never final. Revelation is continuous. We celebrate unfolding truths known to teachers, prophets, and sages throughout the ages. We affirm the worth of all women and men. We believe people should be encouraged to think for themselves. We know people differ in their opinions and lifestyles, and we believe these differences generally should be honored.
