Richard Price - Unitarianism

Unitarianism

It was illegal to deny the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, and this remained the case until the passage of the 1813 Act. Nonetheless, various theologians and clergymen had begun to voice non-Trinitarian views. Theophilus Lindsey resigned his living and moved to London to create an avowedly Unitarian congregation, and Price played a key role in finding and securing the premises for this, which became Essex Street Chapel. Both Price and Priestley were what would now vaguely be called "Unitarians", though they occupied respectively the opposing extreme positions of that school. Indeed, Price's opinions would seem to have been rather Arian than Socinian.
