States the term orthodox is frequently used with
reference to divergent views on the doctrine of the
Trinity. Thus it has been common to speak of the
Trinitarian Congregational churches in distinction from
the Unitarian, as Orthodox.` The name is also applied
to the conservative, in distinction from the "liberal",
or Hicksite, body in the Society of Friends.
