Check out Grant's video: • Lutherans in America | Casual Historian • The Unitarians were once one of, if not the most politically powerful sect in America. Thomas Jefferson had said, “I confidently expect that the present generation will see Unitarianism become the general religion of the United States.” Almost a century later, one Unitarian minister was called “The Preacher Who Saved the Nation.” I thought, how could this weird group that was more concerned with teaching other religions than its own history have come from such an exalted position? • ------------------------------------------------------------ • references: • Dorn, Jacob H. “The Social Gospel and Socialism: A Comparison of the Thought of Francis Greenwood Peabody, Washington Gladden, and Walter Rauschenbusch.” Church History 62, No. 1 (March 1993): 82-100. • Greenwood, Andrea and Mark W.

It was then further developed in England and America until the early 19th century, although theological ancestors are to be found as far back as the early days of Christianity. It matured and reached its classical form in the middle 19th century. Later historical development has been diverse in different countries. • ------------------------------------------------------------ • Hashtags: #history #Unitarianism #UUA #UnitarianUniversalism
