Quick Summary

The American Unitarian Association was founded in 1825, growing out of Unitarianism, which denies the Trinity. This movement developed within New England Congregationalism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Unitarian Universalists today have no creed, and their congregations vary in worship, beliefs, and practices. They emphasize freedom of religious thought, the use of reason in forming beliefs, and tolerance for differing views. Many Unitarian Universalists also support social reform and equality for various groups. In 1961, the American Unitarian Association merged with the Universalist Church of America to form the Unitarian Universalist Association.12
