Happy President's Day!
Join us on Sunday, February 16, 2025 at 11am in person or on ZOOM as we explore
The Presidents and Unitarianism
Unitarianism has roots in early Christianity, but was defined as a denomination in Europe in the late 16th century. It moved to North America in the early 1700's with its strongest footholds in New England. Unitarianism's beliefs were however, part of the religious discussion throughout the colonies and later, the new United States.
From the 18th century through the 20th century, four Presidents of the United States identified as Unitarians with one other expressing Unitarian beliefs without actually identifying as such. Various other early presidents are thought to be Deists with beliefs in common with Unitarianism.
On this Presidents Day weekend, we will look at the development of Unitarianism and the U.S. Presidents who practiced and sometimes wrote about it. What were the early beliefs? How did they develop into what we know today? What did our U.S. Presidents have to say about it? (We won't forget the First Ladies, and will throw the possible Universalist president into the discussion as well. )
Everyone is encouraged to stay for Coffee and Conversation after the service.
