  1. Melbourne Unitarian Christian Church held its first services at the Mechanics' Institute in January 1853.[1] Its first chapel, on Grey Street, Eastern Hill, was registered as a church in November 1854,[2] rebuilt in 1864,[3] and a new church on Grey Street opened in 1887.[4] Grey Street West was renamed Cathedral Place (for the nearby Catholic cathedral) in 1940.[5]
  2. Misreported in the Scott book as "St Mary's Unitarian church", surely an oxymoron
  3. Stephen Hole Fritchman (1902–1981), born into a Quaker family, was appointed minister to the Petersham, Massachusetts Unitarian Church in 1930 and editor of The Christian Register in 1942, transforming the conservative AUA journal into a bright, controversial magazine.[16] He came under fire from the US State Department when he refused under oath to name Communists in his congregation to the House Committee.[17]
