Beliefs

Church of the Holy City in Washington, D.C.

The church believes that the writings of Swedenborg expand upon a deeper understanding of the Christian bible. This new understanding began the second coming of Christ which is continually being manifested in spirit and truth rather than a physical appearance.[1] The Swedenborgian Church of North America does not make any statements as to the exact authority of Swedenborg's writings on the Bible or to the correctness of either. Each Society and member is given the responsibility to arrive at their own conclusions, and the denomination allows for discussion and debate. It is also liberal on social issues and sexual ethics, such as the ordination of women, homosexuality, and abortion.

Structure

The Swedenborgian Church has a congregational form of governance. Local churches, often called societies, form regional associations and those associations send delegates to an annual convention. The Center for Swedenborgian Studies operates as the denomination's theological training institution and seminary. The center is located at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.[2] The church also operates an online church called Swedenborgian Community Online which provides weekly resources on its website and social media.[3] In 2003, the Swedenborgian Church of North America had about 1,800 members, almost identical to the membership it had in 1981 but rather less than the 5,440 it had in 1925.[4]

New Jerusalem Church in Bridgewater, Massachusetts is Swedenborgian Church of North America.

Affiliations

The Swedenborgian Church in North America is one of the Four Church Organizations that comprise The New Church. It is a member of the National Council of Churches USA.
