| *Identifying
individuals by religion is fraught with difficulties because beliefs and affiliations may change over time. In
creating up this list we have used standards which identify individuals as 1) having been a member of a Unitarian
Congregation, 2) having attended as friends for a significant period of time, or 3) having written that they were
Unitarians or Universalists. Some of these individuals are shared with other faiths or the non-churched world.
Some were born in Canada but did most of their ministry out of the country. Should any living person not want
her/his name on this list, it will, of course, be removed. Please let us know at the e-mail below. |
