Dr. William Ellery Channing was the foremost Unitarian preacher in the United States in the early nineteenth century and one of Unitarianism's leading theologians. He was known as a prominent thinker in the liberal theology of his time and his religion and thought were among the most important influences on the New England Transcendentalists, though he never supported their views, which he considered extreme. His nephew William Ellery Channing was a Transcendentalist poet. Good .
