for example). I also rewrote much of the history/historiography section, as much of it existed only to argue that the Christian Unitarians are right and both the Trinitarians and the UUA are wrong. Another big problem with the article is that it does not cite its sources. I think there is room for expansion of the article in such a way that focusses on present-day Christian Unitarians.

last-mentioned school, the attributes of the uncreated are completely incomparable to the attributes of any created being; it's hardly OR to state that divinity rests on other considerations (it is OR to point to the will as an explanation, or to suggest checking the person/presence references in Wulfila's translation and count how many presences God is/has in different passages...)

Unitarian Universalism is already a separate article from Unitarianism. Therefore this Unitarian Christianity article is redundant and the subject is already covered by the Unitarianism article, which includes all existing varieties, including Christian Unitarianism in its diverse forms such as those

This is a controversial point of view on which Knowledge (XXG) should not take a position. The overwhelming majority of what the UUs refer to as the Nicene-Chalcedonian churches (the overwhelming majority of Christians, however broadly defined) hold beleif in the Trinity to be a prerequisite to be

I had. I made comments there at your direction. The discussion reached no consesus and has been "dead" for several weeks. I will attempt to discuss the issue there, but if a consensus cannot be reached, we should remove the tags from both articles. However, another tag might be appropriate at that
230:
I made some changes in the article, including changing the "history" section to "historiograhy," as much of the section is about the Unitarians' interpretation of history, rather than history itself. (There is no direct, historical connection between the Unitarians and the early Christian Church,

I was raised UU and I believe the church has regard for J.C. In fact, one of the basic tenants of UU is to have regard for all beliefs (though, I admit many UUs have problems living up to that ideal). Perhaps the key distinction is the "supreme" in supreme respect... if that is the case, perhaps
250:, but there is no organized movement or church using the name "Unitarian Christianity", therefore the definition is confusing. Furthermore, it mixes churches that are in communion with the American Unitarian Universalists, such as the Transylvanian Unitarian Church, with splinter groups from the 207:
Well, this is a moot point since the text in question has been edited out--but just in case someone is tempted to revert to an earlier version, here are my thoughts. I disagree that it describes the distinction very well. I assume there is a distinction, but the text seems overly coy and a bit
208:
prejudicial (implying a disrespect on the part of UU). Presumably the distinction is that Unitiarian Christians are more fully focused on Jesus Christ, or something... whatever the case, simply state it rather than use vague & unmeasurable terms such as "common regard" and "supreme respect."
510:
If you go back to the primary sources (e.g. the known works of Arius for Arianism proper, those of Wulfila and Auxentius for another school, those of Eunomius and (through a later epitome) Philostorgius for a third school, you may find that they don't really fit that description. In the
505:
Arianism includes any belief in a preexistent Christ, as long as the preexistent Christ is said not to be God himself. If by "divine" one means God, then Jesus is not divine. If by "divine" one means a supernatural being with similar attributes as God, then one could call him "divine."
258:, which has no institutional connection whatsoever with the Transylvanian Unitarians. Therefore it seems to be devoted more to advocacy of schism within Unitarianism rather than explain an existing movement as it really is. Something similar happens with the article named 226:
article. I considered nominating it in AfD, but as this appears to be primarily about a modern splinter movement from the UUA that attempts to reclaim Unitarianism's historic connection to Jesus of Nazereth. So, perhaps this topic should be covered in its own article.
425:. (The issue comes up because converts from Mormonism are rebaptized whereas coverts from Protestantism, etc. are not.) However, Unitarians are probably further removed from belief Christianity than the Mormons because they did not believe in the 245:
The article is questionable for many reasons. First, as you point out, it is partially redundant with the preexisting article on Unitarianism. The text seems to imply that Unitarian Christianity is a splinter from today's Unitarianism or
495:
Arianism and the other fourth-century theologies mentioned in the Arianism section teach that Jesus was both divine and created, but certain modern ones discussed in the same section teach that Jesus was not divine.
391:
I'm a little puzzled as to how a non-trinitarian faith is part of the Christianity series at all. It seems like this would be better treated as the Latter Day Saints movement. Just a thought.
