The course will look at Unitarian European roots in the radical wing of the Protestant Reformation, especially the work of the Socinian movement in Italy, the Minor church in Poland, and the English Unitarians. We will study American Unitarian and Universalist development as response to the Standing Order (Congregational) churches in New England, and trace these separate movements through to the final merger in 1961. Institutional structures, such as AUA, UCA, UUA and General Assembly, as well as the professional and fellowshiping entities to which ministers are accountable, will be examined. Attention will also be given to various rites of passage as observed in Unitarian Universalist congregations.
