Channing, William Ellery (1780–1842), American Unitarian. He became pastor of a Congregational Church in Boston in 1803. In the schism between liberal and conservative Congregationalists in the USA, Channing espoused the liberal or Unitarian cause. From c. 1820 he was reckoned a Unitarian, though he disapproved of Unitarianism as a sect.
