Unitarian Christianity, William Ellery Channing's 1819 ordination sermon preached at Baltimore, set out the position that became the founding statement of American Unitarianism. Its strength is that it is the primary founding text itself, in the movement's own founding figure's words. Its limit is that it is a single sermon's doctrinal statement rather than a full historical account of the movement's later development, which needs separate scholarly sources.
