	John Relly Beard
		In June 1826 he and Mary Barnes married in the Church of England chapel at Portsea, because the law required that all marriages be made in the established parish church.
		But Beard was certain that 'Unitarianism will not spread extensively among the people till the people legislate for themselves and have preachers from among their own ranks.' Beard was the first principal of the Unitarian Home Missionary Board and remained in post until 1874.
		The J. Beard annual lecture was instituted in April 1996 by the Ministerial Fellowship of the General Assembly of Unitarian & Free Christian Churches in honour of Beard who made a signal contribution to ministerial education amongst Unitarians.

	A Liberal Religious Heritage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The four Unitarian congregations in Scotland, which are today affiliated to the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, have different and diverse origins, but Universalism played a significant part of their development.
		Henry Montgomery (1768-1865), the leading Unitarian protagonist, in 1830 led a secession of Non-subscribers from the General Synod which established the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster.
		Although a separate church in its own right, with traditions distinctly different from the churches in Great Britain, its churches are also part of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches.

	Unitarian Christian Association - About us (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Unitarian Christian Association was founded in 1991, largely at the instigation of the late Lancelot Austin Garrard, a distinguished Unitarian scholar and theologian, who was Principal of Manchester College, Oxford (now Harris Manchester College) from 1956 to 1965.
		After his retirement, he continued as an active participant in Unitarian affairs and in the 1980s (like many of his fellow Unitarians and Free Christians) he became increasingly concerned at what appeared to be a concerted attempt to repudiate the Christian tradition within Unitarianism.
		A very generous financial donation on his part enabled the idea of a well-established Liberal Christian organisation within Unitarianism to become a reality, and the Unitarian Christian Association, a registered charity (No.1017711), was constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated April 3rd 1991.

	Objecting to Object!
		It is said that this is a General Assembly (only) Object, but a number of Unitarians say that this Object should be incorporated into worship at a congregational level.
		As early Unitarians stated, the Trinity is not in the Bible, but it is proto-trinitarian, just as early Unitarianism was not quite unitarian (Jesus had miraculous powers and was resurrected), and indeed the Presbyterians before were not unitarian.
		A Unitarian Object in effect states who is fully a member and who is not inside this enterprise.

		The American Universalists and Unitarians merged in the early sixties, and versions of the symbol were adopted by the Unitarian Universalist Association and by the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches in Britain.
		Unitarianism values insights from the present as well as the past.

	UU World: A World Tour of Unitarian Universalism, by Rosemary Bray McNatt
		Written by the Rev. Fredric Muir, minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, Maryland, Maglipay Universalist relates the birth and struggle of Universalism in the Philippines, a society marked by centuries of Spanish Catholicism, decades of Western imperialism, the prominence of close-knit communities known as barangays, and a profoundly poor and oppressed people.
		The leaders of the new church were encouraged by American Unitarians, including U.S. secretary of state (and later president) William Howard Taft, who brought the church leaders Unitarian literature in 1907.
		The British General Assembly recently revised what it calls "the Object of the General Assembly." Akin to the Principles and Sources of the UUA, the revised object notably affirmed the liberal Christian tradition within Unitarianism.
