Unitarian (Christian humanism)
-
Small creedless denomination that evolves its belief. Unitarianism emerged from Presbyterians in England and Congregationalists in the United States, and sometimes General Baptists. Prebsyterians had refused creeds and were broad (catholic) in church outlook, if not then belief. The declining and slowly liberalising Puritans were uplifted by rejuventing biblical unitarian believers (Jesus was human but a healing miracle worker and resurrected), but the more catholic and more liberal types got the upper edge later. They became less Christian and even religious humanist, and now draw from different faiths, whilst a liberal Christian element (which may even be trinitarian in places!) continues.
