Channing was known for his articulate and impassioned sermons and public speeches, and as a prominent thinker in the liberal theology of the day. His religion and thought were among the chief influences on the New England Transcendentalists although he never countenanced their views, which he saw as extreme. He espoused, especially in his "Baltimore Sermon" of May 5, 1819, given at the ordination of the theologian and educator Jared Sparks (1789–1866) as the first minister of the newly organized First Independent Church of Baltimore, the principles and tenets of the developing philosophy and theology of Unitarianism, leading to the organization in 1825 of the first Unitarian denomination in America (American Unitarian Association) and the later developments and mergers between Unitarians and Universalists, resulting finally in the Unitarian Universalist Association of America in 1961.Thomas Hill (January 7, 1818 – November 21, 1891) was an American Unitarian clergyman, mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and educator.REMARKS ON THE CHARACTER AND WRITINGS OF JOHN MILTON, LIFE/CHARACTER OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, OF FENELON, MORAL ARGUMENT AGAINST CALVINISM, ON NATIONAL LITERATURE, THE UNION, ON EDUCATION, SLAVERY, ABOLITIONISTS, ANNEXATION OF TEXAS, CATHOLICISM, TEMPERANCE, PREACHING CHRIST, WAR, UNITARIAN CHRISTIANITY, DUTIES OF CHILDREN, EVIL OF SIN, FUTURE LIFE, LECTURES, ETC.!CONDITION: Conditions are Good/Good+.
