Unitarian means…?
From the beginnings of Christianity, many have argued that God is a unity, that Jesus was a human being sent by God to teach us how to live, and that the Holy Spirit is a name for the divine. From the Council of Nicea in 325 CE until the Protestant Reformation, such doubters were deemed heretics. After the Reformation, religious freedom was allowed in some places, and Unitarian churches formed in England and Eastern Europe. In the United States, Unitarianism was a school of thought within the Puritan churches. Unitarianism (liberals) and Congregationalism (traditionals) split off in 1825 and spread throughout North America.
