Well, the Episcopalian part goes without saying... unless the writer was afraid folks might assume this was another Unitarian clergy-person.

From Google: Unitarianism is a theological movement, named for its understanding of God as one person, in direct contrast to Trinitarianism, which defines God as three persons coexisting consubstantially as one being.

Unitarians maintain that Jesus is in some sense the "son" of God, but not the one God. Unitarianism is also known for the rejection of several other conventional Christian doctrines, including the soteriological doctrines of original sin and predestination, and, in more recent history, biblical inerrancy.
In J. Gordon Melton's Encyclopedia of American Religions it is classified among "the 'liberal' family of churches".

soteriological: Soteriology (Greek: σωτηρία sōtēria "salvation" from σωτήρ sōtēr "savior, preserver" + λόγος logos "study" or "word") is the study of religious doctrines of salvation. Salvation theory occupies a place of special significance and importance in many religions.

=======================================

So, they don't believe that Jesus is our Savior either. Well, He wouldn't be since they don't think that He is the Son of God.
Tsk. I live and learn.

Unitarianism is for people who for some reason want to play at church, without actually doing church. It’s for liberals who don’t actually want to be Christians, but wanna sorta worship something like Christians do while supporting liberal causes. The best we can come up with is the desire God has placed in the human spirit to worship something.
