	The New church (Swedenborgian), Bristol
		The Society's church was destroyed by fire during the Bristol Riots of 1831.
		After some years this iron church received a stone facade, one minister remarking it was " a tin church with a false facade." The site is now covered by the ever-spreading Royal Infirmary (B.R.I.), who purchased the building in 1898 but allowed services to continue there until the church was reprovided.
		At the rear of the church are several rooms and stairs down to an undercroft.

	Religioscope: From Swedenborg to the New Church - Interview with Jane Williams-Hogan
		In Swedenborgian terms, the fall or the expulsion from the garden in Genesis really refers to the fact that human beings, instead of being willing to be led by God, who is love and wisdom itself, wanted to follow their own hearts and judge things from their own perception or minds.
		After the collapse or end of this church, human beings were now able to elevate their minds higher than their affections so that they could in fact again be able to be led to God, to heaven, and to a good life.
		The Church continued to grow in England, despite any coordinated effort, but it wasn’t until 1816 that the Church was actually established in the form that it currently exists today; that is, in a congregational form with a president and pastors.

		The Convention and the Conference are Congregational, and majoritarian, whereas the Lord's New Church and the General Church are Episcopal, hierarchical with counsel or house of National Bishops.
		The General Church's mission is to cooperate with the Lord in building the New Church in the hearts and minds of all people through fostering first the belief that the Old and New Testaments and the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg are the Lord's Words, and second, a love for and obedience to that Word.
		In the General Church their vision is to announce the teachings of Swedenborg more widely to the world than before and to nurture and develop congregations of the New Church to foster the worship of the Lord.

	CESNUR - Swedenborg: A Herald of the New Age?
		But whichever their opinion in such matters, it was rather a question of the proper strategy to be adopted: all Swedenborgians, whether "separatists" or "non-separatists", were equally and deeply convinced that the influx of the New Dispensation would be felt more and more in the entire world, well beyond the borders of New Church societies.
		However, added the author, "[t]he growth and influence of the visible New Church cannot be measured by the progress of its technical institutions": there are many outside its ranks who "have been more or less favorably impressed with the doctrines of Swedenborg"[11].
		A Swiss Swedenborgian minister who had the opportunity to meet Dr. Kim as he was President of the Swedenborg School of Religion in Massachussetts in 1978, felt that she had made a selection of those elements in Swedenborg's theology which might harmonize with the Unificationist doctrine [26].

	Suit alleging fiscal takeover at rich church is dismissed - The Boston Globe
		The racketeering suit was brought by the national denomination of the Swedenborgian church, a small Protestant sect that follows the teachings of the 18th century Swedish scientist and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg, and by longtime church members.
		MacKenzie said he and other new leaders were committed to opening the 186-year-old church to a wider membership, but those who brought the suit say that MacKenzie, who has described himself in a memoir as a swindler, had stacked the church with his friends in an attempt to hijack the institution.
		MacKenzie, the church's director of operations, stepped aside last year as treasurer of the congregation, after the attorney general began an investigation in response to disgruntled members' complaints.

		In the meantime, the church is struggling to raise the remaining millions.

		Over a hundred years after those words were written by a newspaper reporter, the Swedenborgian Church still stands — flourishes, rather — in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
		Its creation in 1895 was influenced by an elite group of early California pioneers: the painter William Keith, naturalist John Muir, architect A. Page Brown, draftsman Bernard Maybeck, and most particularly by the Reverend Joseph Worcester, who would be its first minister.
		The spirit of the church arose from an appreciation of the beauty of nature, and a will to express that beauty as divinity itself.

	The Swedenborg Scientific Association - Swedenborg's Philosophy
		Not only the philosophical works of Emanuel Swedenborg, but also the theological Writings (in their external or biographical aspect) testify that Swedenborg's mind was in a state of constant growth and contained the record of the continually new knowledge which he acquired by reflection upon the phenomena of both worlds.
		In the New Church we know that Swedenborg, as he advanced in knowledge, was being led by the Lord towards a definite end, so that his rational mind might be equipped and enlightened to recognize and formulate the very truths of heaven given by Divine inspiration in the Writings.
		For this reason we may expect to see, even in the rich record of his preparatory studies, the principles or "beginnings" (principia) of a philosophy which may help to lead us also out of the confusion and darkness of a skeptical age into the light of a real understanding.

	About The First Spiritual Temple: Forerunners: Swedenborg
		In many ways, Swedenborg was quite universal in his concepts, for he believed that all religious systems have their divine duty and purpose and that this is not the sole virtue of Christianity.
		Swedenborg believed that the mission of the Church is absolutely necessary inasmuch as, left to his or her own devices, humanity simply cannot work out its relationship to God.
		Although Swedenborgian philosophy and traditional Spiritualism differ on many points, and although the Church of the New Jerusalem (the religious movement based on Swedenborg's revelations) generally condemns the practice of spiritism, we cannot overlook the tremendous impact and contribution which this Swedish seer made towards laying a pathway for the coming dispensation of spiritual truth.
