Wikipedia's dedicated article on the Christian Register, stating its first issue appeared April 20, 1821 under editor David Reed, four years before the American Unitarian Association's own 1825 founding; that the AUA's first annual report, from 1826, records its executive committee having "undertook the conduct of the Register at the commencement of the present year"; that from 1821 to 1957 it was "the leading American Unitarian weekly, published by the American Unitarian Association, Boston"; and that it was renamed The Unitarian Register in 1957 before merging with The Universalist Leader in 1961.
