What is Divine Providence and how does it relate to the purpose of creation, free will, and evil? We'll reflect on these things.  Emanuel Swedenborg had his own opinions - in fact, he wrote a book about them - what's yours? Call in at (646) 564-9571 to talk with us live or text chat with us during the service at chatzy.com/swedenborgJoin our affirming interfaith community at SwedenborgianCommunity.org :) Our form of Swedenborgianism is an interfaith, affirming spirituality based on the mystical Christianity of Emanuel Swedenborg, that opens its doors to people of all faiths or none!

Often more vicious than any animal, human beings can be abusive to family, harbor hidden, destructive addictions, and inspire the watered down monsters in our movies. Often, it is the shape of a man in the doorway that strikes the most fear in any heart.What do you think of when you read "sex trafficking"? Perhaps the horrendous kidnapping, sexual abuse, and rape of primarily women, girls, and boys. And yet, sex trafficking goes further. Sex trafficking is a destructive impulse ingrained in much of our societies and everyday breathing, an impulse that allows the monstrously heinous forms just described. It has been a prominent aspect of marriage, family life, political life, religion, and personal life for thousands of years in this world, which includes our internal and cyber-living today. Read today's Multimedia Service here: http://www.swedenborgiancommunity.org/content.cfm?id=3383Call in at (646) 564-9571 to talk with us live during the service or text chat with us at chatzy.com/swedenborgJoin our affirmi

Reflecting on the interfaith Swedenborgian sermon, "Remember to Sabbath," from the President of the Swedenborgian Church of North America, Rev. Jane Seibert. In it she says, "Remember to sabbath, to rest. Not necessarily keeping a certain day holy, but to recognize the holiness of rest and restoration. It is not about the old legalistic ritual to keep Sunday holy. In today’s world it is about finding time in our lives to be holy, to rest, to care for our bodies and souls, to remember to Sabbath." Find the rest here:http://www.swedenborgiancommunity.org/content.cfm?id=3382Call in at (646) 564-9571 at 9 pm ET on Sundays or text chat with us live during this service!Join our affirming interfaith community at SwedenborgianCommunity.org :)Swedenborgianism is a pluralistic, mystical Christianity that opens its doors to people of all faiths or no religion: there are many gates to the New Jerusalem!

Conjugial Love is a term used in some translations of Emanuel Swedenborg's writings to mean Spiritual Marriage Love or Conjoinment and its descriptions have caused a good amount of controversy among Swedenborgians. What's the importance of this metaphorical "marriage" and why does Biblical scripture go on so much about it? Rev. Julie Conaron and Roslyn Taylor join in on the discussion and share about their monumental project. Call in during the show or text chat with us live, see our website for ways to connect.Join our affirming interfaith community at SwedenborgianCommunity.org :) Swedenborgianism is a pluralistic, mystical Christianity that opens its doors to people of all faiths or no religion: there are many gates to the New Jerusalem!

How do we employ spiritual practice for personal and communal growth? To approach this question we should reflect on what it means to "grow" spiritually, connecting it with the work of internal salvation that the Divine strives to work within us, whatever our religion.Please see the corresponding Multimedia Worship on our website and chat with us live during the prayer service!Join our affirming interfaith community at SwedenborgianCommunity.org :) Swedenborgianism is a pluralistic, mystical Christianity that opens its doors to people of all faiths or no religion: there are many gates to the New Jerusalem!

Spiritual reflection is something that many of us dismiss, either directly - what's spirit? Reflect? I don't have much time for it. Or subconsciously - it just never comes to mind. Personally, I could do with a little more time to review my perspective, to meditate on my intentions, to become more prayerful, in order to truly cultivate life within and around me.See the corresponding multimedia worship today at http://www.swedenborgiancommunity.org/content.cfm?id=3377Join our community here and at SwedenborgianCommunity.org!
