Excerpt from Unitarian Biographical Dictionary: Being Short Notices of the Lives of Noteworthy Unitarians, and Kindred Thinkers, Brought Down to the Year 1900 Arian. - A name taken from Arius, a native of Libya, born shortly after the middle of the third century, and who maintained that Christ was not co-equal or co-eternal with the Father, but only the first and highest of all finite beings, created out of nothing by God's free will, and that he ought not to be ranked with the Father that he had not always existed; that he was not of the same substance with the Father; that he was not the Word or Wisdom, and that the Scriptures only attribute these names to him as they do to other created intelligences. For expression of this belief Arius was excommunicated, and afterwards banished. Hicksite. - A division of Quakers owing their name to Elias Hicks, who profess the faith held by the theistic school of Unitarians. The Hicksites include about one-half of the body of the Society of Friends in America. Humanitarian - A name given to anti-trinitarians who refuse to ascribe a superhuman character to Christ. The Humanitarian opinion is therefore distinct from the Arian, the latter admitting the pre-existence of Christ, and his pre eminence among the creatures of God. The term is also sometimes applied to those who look to the perfectibility of human nature as their great moral dogma, and ignore altogether the dependence of man upon supernatural aid.
