1. Unitarians and Universalists started as separate denominations, within Christianity
2. Both traced roots in England, but mainly flourished in America
3. Other predecessors are traced to Transylvania, Poland, and Switzerland.
4. In 1961 the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church in America merged to form the UUA. Even earlier, for a quarter century, these two denominations had worked together on hymnals, and religious education of children.
5. At the time of merger, the Unitarians were at least twice as numerous as Universalists. Lots of Unitarians, by then, considered themselves non-Christian. Almost all Universalists still considered themselves Christian.
6. Six Principles in 1961 were revised to Seven Principles in 1984-85. (For more on these see the article by Warren R. Ross from UUWORLD, Nov/Dec 2000.)
