Does anyone have any sources regarding the period around 1800-1840 when the Unitarians and Congregationalists split? I am interested in local events in the Massachusetts/NH area.
From what I've read, the Andover Seminary (now Andover Newton Theological Seminary) was established as an alternative to Harvard which was more inclined to Unitarianism.
Yesterday, in Northfield, MA, I noticed that the UCC church is the Trinitarian Congregational Church and the UU's are the First Parish. There must be an interesting story behind the split.
I've also read that nearby Winchester, NH was the site of an important early Unitarian meeting, but don't know anything more about it.
Any information you can share or sources you can recommend would be appreciated.
