Swedenborgians are followers of the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century Swedish scientist and theologian. They believe in a spiritual interpretation of the Bible and emphasize the importance of personal experience in understanding God and the afterlife. Swedenborg's writings explore the nature of heaven, hell, and the human soul, offering insights into spiritual growth and moral living. The Swedenborgian Church promotes a community focused on love, service, and the pursuit of truth. Members often engage in discussions about spiritual matters and seek to apply Swedenborg's principles in their daily lives. The church values inclusivity and encourages individuals to explore their own spiritual paths.
