  Title: Federal Street Church (Boston)
  Passage: The Federal Street Church (established 1729) was a congregational unitarian church in Boston, Massachusetts.  Organized in 1727, the originally presbyterian congregation changed in 1786 to "Congregationalism", then adopted the liberal theology of its fifth Senior Minister, William Ellery Channing, (1780-1842).

Thereafter the church renamed itself the Federal Street Church in honor of the event.  In 1803, it called William Ellery Channing, (1780-1842), as its minister who defined "Unitarian Christianity" and launched the Unitarian movement, making the Federal Street Church one of the first to define itself as Unitarian.
  Title: Unitarian Universalism
  Passage: Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion characterized by a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning".  The Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church does not have a creed.  Instead, UUs are unified by their shared search for spiritual growth.  As such, UU congregations include many agnostics, theists, and atheists among their membership.  The roots of UU are in liberal Christianity, specifically Unitarianism and Universalism.  Unitarian Universalists state that from these traditions come a deep regard for intellectual freedom and inclusive love.  Congregations and members seek inspiration and derive insight from all major world religions.
