   The doctrines (i.e. teachings) of the New Church have been passed to us from the Lord in heaven through the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg and have influenced countless people ever since.  This week we will look at the way Swedenborg's writings have influenced the progression of thought and action in philosophy, religion, ethics, education, and society as we look at some of the important people who were influenced by his writings and in turn, reached out and influenced the world in which they lived.

The Psalms: Biblical Poetry and Song

   This week we look at the Psalms, the collection of one hundred and fifty poems, or more accurately song lyrics, and how they speak to us.  The Psalms are beautiful and powerful poetry that touch on the complete spectrum of human emotion and thought, but they are also, at both literal and correspondential levels, an important source of theological and spiritual inspiration.  This week we will look for spiritual regeneration in the artistry, poetry and music of the Word.
