In [[England]], the movement grew out of the work of dissenters from the Church of England, including Theophilus Lindsey (1723-1805), who established the first Unitarian church in London in 1774. It also spread among the English Presbyterians. The noted clergyman and scientist [[Joseph Priestley]] (1733-1804) was a Unitarian minister; he formed the first Unitarian Society in Philadelphia, in 1796. The Unitarians later claimed [[Thomas Jefferson]] as a sympathizer, as well as [[Isaac Newton]]. Jefferson decided not to join the group. Newton was an Arian but died before the Unitarians became active.
