Hello all, Episcopalian here who is always interested in learning more about America's rich religious history. So as I understand it, UU is a religion that evolved from the merger of two liberal branches of Protestantism, the Unitarians, and the Universalists, but that at this time would not be classified as strictly Christian. So my question for those interested in the history of your denomination, is what were those previous Unitarian and Universalist branches like? Were they Christian, albeit heterodox compared to the majority of Christian denominations? Did the shift away from a liberal but *Christian* identity take place within both denominations before the merger, or was it more the result of the merger? And do there still exist churches that are say, Unitarian, or Universalist, but not UU? And I should say, as regards the Unitarians especially, I am aware that some branches of Christianity like the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses are nontrinitarian, but that's not really what I'm talking about when asking about Unitarian Churches. I'm thinking more about a church that has similarities to the historical Unitarian denomination. Thanks!
