CHURCH , or NEw CHURCH, the community founded by the followers of See also:Emmanuel See also:Swedenborg (q.v.). Swedenborg himself took no steps to found a church, but having given a new See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
interpretation of Scripture, it was inevitable that those who accepted his See also:doctrine should See also:separate themselves and organize a society in accordance therewith. Those who received them fully during Swedenborg's lifetime were few and scattered, but courageously undertook the task of dissemination, and gave themselves to translating and distributing their See also:master's writings. Two See also:Anglican clergymen were conspicuous in this See also:work: See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Hartley (d. 1784), See also:rector of Winwick, and See also:John Clowes (1743-1831), See also:vicar of St John's, See also:Manchester. Hartley translated See also:Heaven and See also:Hell (1778) and True See also:Christian See also:Religion (1781); Clowes, who taught New Church doctrine in the existing churches and was opposed to the forming of new organizations, translated 17 volumes, including the Arcane Coelestia, and published over 50 volumes of exposition and See also:defence. Through his See also:influence See also:Lancashire became the strong-hold of the Swedenborgians, and to-See also:day includes a third of the congregations and more than See also:half the members of the New Church in the See also:United See also:Kingdom.
In 1782 a society for See also:publishing Swedenborg's writings was formed in Manchester, and in See also:December 1783 a little See also:company of sympathizers with similar aims met in See also:London and founded " The Theosophical Society,” among the members of which were John See also:Flaxman the sculptor, See also:- WILLIAM

See also:Jacob Duche, like Clowes at Manchester, preached the doctrines from his own See also:pulpit. In 1785 and 1787' J. W. See also:Salmon and R. See also:Mather conducted an open-See also:air missionary tour in the Midlands and the See also:North with some success. Five prominent Wesleyan preachers adopted the new teaching and were cut off from their connexion, a step which led, in spite of remonstrance from Clowes and others, to the formal organization of the New Jerusalem Church on the 7th of May 1787. For some months the members met in private houses, but in See also:January 1788 began See also:worship in a church in See also:Great Eastcheap with a See also:liturgy specially prepared by the Rev.

In See also:April 1789 a See also:General See also:Conference of See also:British Swedenborgians was held in Great Eastcheap Church, followed by another and by the publication of a See also:journal, the New Jerusalem See also:Magazine, in 1790. Since 1815 conferences have been held every See also:year. A weekly See also:paper, the See also:Morning See also:Light, is published, as well as monthly magazines for adults (the New Church Magazine) and See also:young folk.

In the provinces the first church was at See also:Birmingham (1791), followed by one at Manchester and another at See also:Liverpool (1793). The See also:Accrington church, the largest in Great See also:Britain, was founded in 18o2. Many of the early converts to the New Church were among the most fervent See also:advocates of the abolition of See also:slavery, one was the medical officer of the first batch of convicts sent to See also:Botany See also:Bay; from the See also:house of another, William See also:Cookworthy of See also:Plymouth, See also:Captain See also:Cook sailed on his last voyage.

See also:England) Missionary Society was founded, chiefly to provide preachers for the smaller churches in its See also:area; in 1857 a See also:National Missionary Institution was founded and endowed, to which most of the See also:local ones have been affiliated. Other denominational agencies have been concerned with the See also:printing and circulation of Swedenborgian literature, a training See also:college for the See also:ministry (founded in 1852), and a Ministers' Aid Fund (1854), and an Orphanage (1881). The See also:centenary of the New Church as a spiritual See also:system was celebrated in 1857, as an See also:external organization in 1883. A few Swedenborgians still hold to the non-separating policy, but more from force of circumstances than from deliberate principle. The constitution of the New Church is of the See also:Independent ;Congregational type; the conference may advise and counsel, but cannot compel the obedience of the See also:societies. The returns for 1909 showed 45 ministers, 8 recognized leaders, to recognized missionaries, 70 societies, 6665 registered members, 7907 See also:Sunday scholars. There are also five or six small societies not connected with the conference.
The New Church in See also:Europe.—In See also:Sweden the Philanthropic Exegetic Society was formed by C. F. See also:Nordenskiold in 1786 to collect documents about Swedenborg and to publish his writings. The introduction of See also:alchemy and mesmerism led to its See also:dissolution in 1789, but its work was continued by the society " See also:Pro fide et charitate," which existed from 1796 to 1820. For many years the See also:works of Swedenborg and his followers were proscribed, and receivers of his writings fined or deprived of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but in 1866, when religious See also:liberty had made progress, the cause was again taken up; in 1875 the society of " Confessors of the New Church " was formed in See also:Stockholm, and since 1877 services have been regularly held. There is also a church in See also:Gothenburg, and lectures are given from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to time in most of the towns of Sweden. In See also:Norway there is no New Church organization; in See also:Denmark a church was founded in See also:Copenhagen in 1871. In See also:Germany See also:Prelate See also:Oetinger of See also:Wurttemberg translated many of Swedenborg's writings between 1765 and 1786, but the great name is that of Immanuel Tafel (d. 1863), librarian of See also:Tubingen, who not only edited, translated and published, but in 1848 founded a " See also:Union of the New Church in Germany and Switzer-See also:land " which held quarterly meetings. There is a church in See also:Berlin, but otherwise activity in Germany has taken shape in the See also:German Swedenborg Society with headquarters at See also:Stuttgart. In See also:Switzerland, on the contrary, there is an organized See also:body of the New Church; divine service being held in the Society at See also:Zurich and by circles at Berne, See also:Herisau and Nesslau. The Zurich pastor is a member of the See also:American See also:Convention, and has oversight also of the See also:Austrian societies at See also:Vienna and See also:Trieste. In See also:Hungary there are societies at Buda Pesth and Gyorkony. In See also:France there were early Swedenborgians of See also:rank and learning, and much See also:translation was accomplished before 1800. About 1838 J. F. E. Le Boys de Guays began his masterly translation of all Swedenborg's theological works and instituted public New Church worship, which was carried on at his house for See also:thirty years. Sunday worship is now held in the New Church See also:Temple on the See also:Rue Thouin. In See also:Italy (See also:Rome), See also:- HOLLAND

Holland (The See also:Hague), See also:Belgium (See also:Antwerp and See also:Bruges), there are small societies, and nearly every See also:European See also:country has some known adherents.
In Anterica.—About 1784 James Glen, a London See also:Scot, delivered lectures " For the Sentimentalists " on the new doctrine in See also:Philadelphia and See also:Boston and circulated some of Swedenborg's works. See also:Francis See also:Bailey, state printer of See also:Pennsylvania, was attracted by them and became active in their promulgation. During the next ten years a number of prominent men gave their support to the teaching, which gradually spread inland and southward. The first society for worship was formed in See also:Baltimore in 1792 (reorganized 1798), though a See also:short-lived one had preceded it at See also:Halifax, N.S., in 1791. Other churches See also:grew up in Philadelphia, See also:Cincinnati, Boston and New See also:York, and the General Convention, which meets annually, was formed at Philadelphia in 1817. In 1907 there were 102 ministers and 103 societies with a membership of 656o. Of these, 4 societies and 140 members are in See also:Canada, while the German See also:Synod See also:counts for I I societies and 325 members.
In See also:Australia, &c.—The formation of societies in Australia began at See also:Adelaide in 1844. See also:Melbourne and See also:Sydney followed in 1854, See also:Brisbane in 1865, Rodborough, Viet., in 1878. There is a circle at See also:Perth. New See also:Zealand has a church at See also:Auckland (1883) and scattered members in the See also:south See also:island. An Australasian conference met at Melbourne in 1881 and has continued to meet in alternate years. There is a society at See also:Mauritius, and correspondents in various parts of South and See also:West See also:Africa, See also:India, See also:Japan, the West Indies and South See also:America.
