"Drafts of Occasional Services" is a significant historical document representing the liturgical development within the Unitarian movement during the early twentieth century. This work serves as the second interim report of the Committee on the Conduct of Worship, which was established by the General Unitarian Conference at Baltimore and presented at the New Haven assembly in September 1923.

The text provides a detailed look at the proposed structures and language for various religious services, reflecting the theological evolution and practical needs of Unitarian congregations of the era. By outlining specific drafts for "occasional services," the committee sought to provide a cohesive framework for worship that balanced tradition with the liberal religious values of the denomination. This volume is an essential primary source for scholars of American religious history, liturgical studies, and the institutional history of the Unitarian faith. It captures the collaborative efforts of religious leaders to refine their communal practices and formalize the expression of their shared beliefs during a period of significant growth and change.
