| Abstract:
|
Although the doctrines of Unitarianism come from 17th century Europe, Unitarianism
in America during the 19th century was influenced by several American theologians
including Boston based preacher William Ellery Channing (1780-1842). The first Unitarian
gathering was held in Brooklyn in 1833. Between 1835 and 1900 numerous Unitarian societies
and churches were established in Brooklyn. The Unitarian Churches of Brooklyn collection
contains records of five Unitarian churches located in Brooklyn, N.Y. The collection
spans the years 1860 to 1958 and includes annual reports, registers, yearbooks, directories,
sermons, programs, and various publications.
