UNITARIANISM 01 November 2004 J. McRee (Mac) Elrod The word "Unitarian" historically refers to the oneness of God as opposed to the Trinity of God. The word Trinity is not in the Bible, nor Unitarians hold, 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. The leader of the Trinitarian position was St. Nicholas (later known as Santa Claus), who later actively persecuted Unitarians. At that time the Unitarian position was called "Arianism" for its leader Arius of Alexandria. He and the idea were declared heretic, and was crushed except for a few remote Germanic tribes. With the invention of the printing press in the 1450's, and the wide reading of the Bible, people discovered that the Trinity was not there, and Unitarians (often called Arians) sprang up all over Europe like crocus. In most places they were killed. Calvin burned the best known Renaissance Unitarian theologian, the Spaniard Servetus, in Geneva, October 27th, 1553. He was burned with a slow fire, taking half an hour to kill him, with his books and writings strapped to him. Earlier he had been burned in effigy by Catholics. (Servetus was also a doctor, and had discovered the pulmonary circulation of the blood.) Many early Unitarians tended to be scientists or doctors, and serving the royal family sometimes led to acceptance. Krakow (the early capital of Poland), became one of the few places Unitarians were allowed to live without persecution. They formed a convocation in 1565. After the Counter Reformation began to gain strength, and they were less welcome in Krakow, they gathered from all over Europe in a town they settled near Krakow (Rakow), establishing a university and printing press, under the leadership of the Italian theologian Socinus.

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.

History > Unitarianism Unitarianism Unitarian Universalism is the result of the merger of two separate denominations: Unitarianism and Universalism. Unitarianism emerged in America in the early 19th century, stressing importance of rational thinking, each person's direct relationship with God, and the humanity of Jesus. By 1825, Unitarian ministers had formed a denomination called the American Unitarian Association. Members spoke out on issues such as education reform, prison reform, moderation in temperance, ministry to the poor, and the abolition of slavery. Influential Unitarians from this era include William Ellery Channing, Theodore Parker, Joseph Priestly, and Thomas Starr King, who was also a Universalist. American Unitarianism went through many changes over the next 150 years, from the introduction of transcendentalist thought in the mid-1800s and humanist thought in the early 1930s. These contributed to the evolution of American Unitarianism into a more broad and flexible faith. Unitarians have been very influential throughout American history, especially in politics and literature. Some famous Unitarians include John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Paul Revere, William Howard Taft, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

34. Unitarianism 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. 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.�

35. Unitarians And Deistic Christians It is time unitarianism stands for something again, and the formation of the American Unitarian Conference is a good first step. Let's not fall back into the same mistake http://www.sullivan-county.com/deism/unitarians.htm

Unitarians and Deistic Christians by Lewis Loflin "We cannot learn anywhere from the Scripture of God, that his words and the religion are meant to be spread by fire and sword." "God always took care of his truth Himself and He will always do that in the future as well." Francis David Opening extracts from: First Unitarian Congregation in Budapest "No one is allowed to threaten anyone with imprisonment or deprivation of his office; for faith is the gift of God, this comes from listening, listening to the words of God." Principles of Faith God is one, spirit, creator and preserver of the world. The Unitarians adopted the scientific world-view in all times believing in addition that a conscious spirit is working behind the evolutionary events. They believe in God as a personal and spiritual power who takes care of his creatures by his providential act manifested in nature and history, on the universal and personal level alike. The human kind is God's most noble creature, with the faculties of reason, awareness and conscience. God gave man the ability to do good and free will. Due to reason, man is able to distinguish between moral good and evil. Further he is able and free to chose...Free will means moral independence...The purpose of human kind is accomplishing the kingdom of God on Earth, which means fulfillment of the good natural endowments of men, on personal and social level. Most valuable virtues are: faith, free will, conscience and love.

Historic Unitarians believed in the moral authority, but not the deity, of Jesus. Orthodox Christianity generally views unitarianism as "a theological error that holds to the unity of God by denying the Trinity , the deity of Jesus , and the deity of the Holy Spirit . Unitarians teach the unity of God and hold to a common system of believing as you will about God salvation sin , etc. They often profess to have no dogma. Unitarians also hold to the universal redemption of all mankind Carm Some have characterized Unitarians through history as "free thinkers" and "dissenters," evolving their beliefs in the direction of rationalism and humanism. Throughout the world, many Unitarian congregations and associations belong to the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists. In the United States many Unitarians are Unitarian Universalist or UU, reflecting an institutional consolidation between Unitarianism and Universalism. Today, most Unitarian Universalists do not consider themselves Christians, even if they share some beliefs quite similar to those of mainstream Christians.

Encyclopedia of Religion and Society William H. Swatos, Jr. Editor Table of Contents Cover Page Editors Contributors ... Web Version UNITARIANISM Rooted in Christianity, Unitarianism represents both a theological position and a religious organization. Strictly speaking, theological unitarianism means denying the orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity, that God is " three-in-one : Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Classical unitarianism taught the Fatherhood of God alone, and the humanity of Jesus of Nazareth. As a theological position, Unitarianism can be dated to the fourth-century Christological controversies. It was revived during the Reformation, principally by Socinius. Sociologically, Unitarian Universalists are dramatically well educated in comparison with the general population and similarly overrepresented among socioeconomic elites. The UUA has significant difficulties in holding its membership, which numbers about 250,000, cross-generationally. Its major institutions are the Harvard Divinity School, Meadville-Lombard (Chicago), and Starr King (Berkeley, California). William H. Swatos, Jr
