How did you decide whom to include in these lists?

|
| These lists have been
developed by different people at different times. (See the credits page.)
All individuals included have some connection with Unitarianism,
Universalism, or Unitarian Universalism: they attended a congregation
regularly, they were members or ministers of a congregation, or they
identified themselves in public or private statements as Unitarians and
Universalists. Both Unitarianism and Universalism began as theological tendencies within other religious movements; thus, some individuals represented here may have considered themselves Unitarian and/or Universalist before those were organized denominations. |
