naChanning, William Ellery
(1780–1842).
American Christian pastor, originally a
Congregationalist
: in the schism between conservatives and liberals, Channing espoused the liberals, rejecting the
Trinity
and the radical consequence of
original sin
. He is thus regarded as a leading
Unitarian
thinker, but he said that he belonged only to ‘the community of free minds’. He supported social reform, though not at first the abolition of slavery. Rebuked for this, he published
Slavery
(1835), which became a key text for the opponents of slavery.
