- 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)
It was a survey carried out by the General Assembly's Taskforce in 2004 - and subsequently published / discussed in The Inquirer throughout the earlier stages of 2004. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact date when the results were first published. --Steelson80 23:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Purpose of Page"
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)
I have added a little on the Acts of Uniformity and Toleration. Angelamaher 11:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Very good question! I had presumed that the Unitarianism page was mainly about the history of an idea and therefore international. Whereas, the GA page was mainly about the history of an organisation and therefore largely domestic. Of course, to do either subject justice, there has to be an overlap between the two.

[edit] Missing history
The following article suggests that the first unitarian service was in 1774, and the first Unitarian chapel was "within 4 years".
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)
