English Unitarians

Unitarianism (from Latin unitas "unity, oneness", from unus "one") is a nontrinitarian branch of Christian theology. Most other branches of Christianity and the major Churches accept the Nicene Creed's statement of homoousion: one being in three hypostases: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
