Compare this entry

Overview

Unitarian and other nontrinitarian Christian traditions are a diverse set of movements that differ from Nicene trinitarian formulations.

History

They include historically distinct currents such as Socinian, Biblical Unitarian, Christadelphian, and other groups; some have very different histories and self-understandings.

Beliefs and emphases

Their views of God, Christ, Scripture, salvation, worship, and church vary considerably and should be sourced from each group's own statements.

Worship and practice

Worship ranges from conventional Protestant services to forms shaped by each specific community.

Organisation and life

Governance also differs widely, from congregational to denominational structures.
