Office for Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns Unitarian Universalist Origins: Our Historic Faith Mark W. Harris Unitarians and Universalists have always been heretics. We are heretics because we want to choose our faith, not because we desire to be rebellious. “Heresy” in Greek means “choice.” During the first three centuries of the Christian church, believers could choose from a variety of tenets about Jesus. Among these was a belief that Jesus was an entity sent by God on a divine mission. Thus the word “Unitarian” developed, meaning the oneness of God. Another religious choice in the first three centuries of the Common Era (CE) was universal salvation. This was the belief that no person would be condemned by God to eternal damnation in a fiery pit. Thus a Universalist believed that all people will be saved. Christianity lost its element of choice in 325 CE when the Nicene Creed established the Trinity as dogma. For centuries thereafter, people who professed Unitarian or Universalist beliefs were persecuted. This was true until the sixteenth century when the Protestant Reformation took hold in the remote mountains of Transylvania in eastern Europe. Here the first edict of religious toleration in history was declared in 1568 during the reign of the first and only Unitarian king, John Sigismund. Sigismund’ s court preacher, Francis David, had successively converted from Catholicism to Lutheranism to Calvinism and finally to Unitarianism because he could find no biblical basis for the doctrine of the Trinity. Arguing that people should be allowed to choose among these faiths, he said, “We need not think alike to love alike.”

Unitarian Society Spartacus USA History British History Second World War ... 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 Non-conformist groups but this ended in failure. There is no set doctrinal beliefs that all Unitarians agree on. In fact, the most important aspect of Unitarianism is the right of individuals to develop their own religious opinions. Therefore the bond between them consists more in their anti-dogmatism than in any uniformity of belief. However, Unitarians tend to believe that Jesus Christ was a human religious leader to be followed but not worshipped. Unitarians argued that Jesus is the "great exemplar which we ought to copy in order to perfect our union with God".

Unitarian Universalism Quotes From Wisdom Quotes : Quotations to inspire and challenge - by Jone Johnson Lewis Wisdom Quotes - Home Page More Quote Categories Back to Previous Page Unitarian Universalism Quotes Adlai Stevenson I think that one of our most important tasks is to convince others that there's nothing to fear in difference; that difference, in fact, is one of the healthiest and most invigorating of human characteristics without which life would become meaningless. Here lies the power of the liberal way: not in making the whole world Unitarian [Universalist], but in helping ourselves and others to see some of the possibilities inherent in viewpoints other than one's own; in encouraging the free interchange of ideas; in welcoming fresh approaches to the problems of life; in urging the fullest, most vigorous use of critical self-examination. L. B. Fisher Universalists are often asked where they stand. The only true answer to give to this question is that we do not stand at all, we move. William Schulz Unitarian Universalism affirms: That Creation is too grand, complex, and mysterious to be captured in a narrow creed. That is why we cherish individual freedom of belief. At the same time our convictions lead us to other affirmations . . .

66. Sermon: Unitarian Roots In England And America Unitarian Universalism is the outgrowth of two separate denominational traditions, which date back to the Reformation era and even well beyond. http://www.sullivan-county.com/id2/unitarians.htm

Sermon: Unitarian Roots in England and America The Rev. Sarah Lammert, USR, March 9, 2003 Unitarian Universalism is the outgrowth of two separate denominational traditions, which date back to the Reformation era and even well beyond. Universalism is grounded in the conviction, stated as far back as the 2nd century by Origin, which says that God is all-loving, and that all of creation will ultimately be drawn back into the eternal divine goodness. Unitarianism, while it draws its name from it’s anti-Trinitarian tendencies (which says that God is One rather than three in one), has focused over the centuries on the goodness of humanity, and on the use of reason as well as faith in determining one’s religious convictions. In January, I gave an address on Unitarian roots in the Radical wing of the Reformation, and in April I will finish this mini history series by lifting up our Universalist history. Today I will go over the English and American roots of Unitarianism, covering a period from roughly the mid 1600’s through WWII, tying in concepts and theological underpinnings which continue to be relevant, inspirational, and challenging to us all today. As I said in January, there is no neat line of history that we can follow back through time that defines the Unitarian part of our heritage. Even the Roman Catholic Church has had it’s difficult-to-explain splinterings (such as the period when they had three competing Popes) and the Unitarians being in general bright, intellectual, questioning types of people, have often been accused of heresy, their churches burned, their leaders jailed and killed, and their congregations scattered.

Notable American Unitarians Charles Hartshorne The second of six children, Hartshorne spent his childhood in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. In 1908 the family moved to Phoenixville. Later, he and his brother Richard attended Yeates Boarding School, 1911-15, in Lancaster County. (His brother Richard (1899-1992) became a well-known geographer and was, for many years, Treasurer of the First Unitarian Society of Madison, Wisconsin.) At Yeates, Hartshorne read Chester A. Reed's Song and Insectivorous Birds East of the Rockies . The book sparked a life-long interest in ornithology. His twelfth book was Born to Sing: A World Survey and Interpretation of Bird Song , 1973. He also read Emerson's essays and Matthew Arnold's Literature and Dogma . After reading Emerson, Hartshorne resolved to "trust reason to the end." He characterized his response to Arnold's book as "almost like an explosion in my mind." Persuaded by Arnold's discussion, he abandoned any serious interest in Christology, even as the great commandments to love God wholly and to love one's neighbor as oneself never ceased to be central to his philosophy. Hartshorne attended Haverford, 1915-17, a Quaker college. There he studied with the philosopher Rufus Jones. A careful reading of Josiah Royce's
