Church of the Holy City hosts weekly book discussion groups! The group currently meets at 7 p.m. EST on Mondays, and tend to focus on works by and about Swedenborg.  All are welcome to join!

Presently, the group is currently set to discuss a short biography of Swedenborg, A Scientist Explores Spirit, by George Dole and Robert Kirven. Also, the group wanted to share this short document, Swedenborg used his Breath, with the wider CHC membership, since this reading is rather relevant to our upcoming discussion on Sunday.

“While discussion centers on Swedenborgian thought, we observe considerable latitude in our discussions,” says Malcolm Peck, Vice President of the Church and one of the participants. “This has led to interesting (and respectful) exchanges on life questions, spirituality, and advances in science. One constantly recurring question for the group is: What would Swedenborg say about some aspect of Christian belief if he were brought back to life and made aware of the advances of the sciences in the time since his death.”

If you are interested in joining the Swedenborg Book Discussion at CHC, please reach out to Dr. Malcolm Peck at aandmpeck@comcast.net or Stephen Svelmoe at sjsvelmoe@yahoo.com for more information.
