A sweet little town on the western side of South Jersey, USA. A very, very old town. The oldest church-Trinity Episcopal-is in the Atlas as a "Must See" attraction. Most of the people you will meet there are kind and caring, and-usually-mind their own business. Once a year, in either May or June, it holds a "Swedesboro Day" festival where people of the town (or visitors) can enjoy music and dwell in the history of the town itself and it's people. Full of places to see, it is a great place to visit.

Get the swedesboro mug.A Swedish scientist, philosopher, Christian mystic and theologian. Swedenborg had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. In 1741 at the age of fifty-three he entered into a spiritual phase in which he eventually began to experience dreams and visions beginning on Easter weekend April 6, 1744. This culminated in a spiritual awakening, where he was appointed by the Lord to write a heavenly doctrine to reform Christianity. The Lord had opened his eyes, so that from then on he could freely visit heaven and hell, and talk with angels, demons and other spirits. For the remaining 28 years of his life, he wrote and published 18 theological works, of which the best known was Heaven and Hell (1758), and several unpublished theological works.
The New Church is a religion based on the Old and New Testament as well as the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, who, through the Lord's guidance, has revealed the internal sense of the Word.
