Circle of Inner Light Spiritual Community is blessed to have access and
use of the Swedenborg Chapel, under the ministry of Pastor Junchol Lee.
A little bit of Swedenborg:
Even before modern spiritualism was founded in 1848, many of the ideas of the belief system of
Spiritualism were already in circulation. Emmanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish
scientist, is credited with being the first significant practitioner and
promoter of the central tenets of spiritualism. The idea that spirits actively help people and that
Mediumship can prove
the existence of an afterlife was developed by Swedenborg and ultimately
led to modern spiritualism. The idea that one can develop one's soul
through doing good out of love for God and shunning evil, was also
developed by Swedenborg. Swedenborg combined these ideas
with
Christianity, while later on modern spiritualism would be more all
encompassing.
