Talk:General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches

message: I'm a member of this denomination and have noticed that there's no reference to the form of polity used. It's a combined congregational / presbyterian form of governance, which follows a congregation > district > general assembly model, where each congregation is autonomous! Would it be okay for me to go ahead and add this section?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torspedia (talk • contribs) 12:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Creating a section on governance

:A survey of members in 2004 found 61% regard themselves as Christian.
I can find no referrences to this survey or results. I have removed it until an accurate citation can be provided. From my experience, I would guess that 61% is probably about right, but we should have a propper reference -- Chris Q 07:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Query re missing reference

message: Is this page simply about the GA or about Unitarianism in Britain currently represented by the GA? I was thinking of adding some of the history from the page on Unitarianism to this page but wasn't sure since much of it predates the GA. Angelamaher 10:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Purpose of Page"

message: The following article suggests that the first unitarian service was in 1774, and the first Unitarian chapel was "within 4 years".
*Unitarians in London
This is earlier than the 1813 Act, and therefore implies that the services were illegal. It also means that some early history is missing from the Wikipedia article. Ogg (talk) 18:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I trust this has now been cleared up. I wrote an article on Essex Street Chapel. BrainyBabe (talk) 10:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing history 

message: I have proposed at Talk:Unitarianism, and repeated at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion/Unitarian Universalism work group, the possibility of creating History of Unitarianism in Britain. That would enable most of the material in this article to be moved over. It seems to me that this article, as a national religious organisation, needs a structure more along the lines of Unitarian Universalist Association; it could evern learn from Church of England. Any objections, suggestions, or offers of help? BrainyBabe (talk) 11:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  major changes proposed 

message: In attempt to redress the balance of the article from nearly 100% history to reflect the fact that the GA is a living and vibrant organisation of living people (on 29 March 2011) I added to the preface ... "Unitarians are now an open faith community celebrating diverse beliefs differing from many other religions in that it believes in helping people find their own spiritual path rather than defining it for them [1]. Essentially it could be said to be an opensource neutral personal development movement."  Except the last sentence, which is a personal interpretation, this is a slightly condensed quotation from www.unitarian.org.uk.
