building bridges in bryn athyn
The Board of Trustees of the Swedenborg House of Studies of General
Convention had its autumn meetings in Bryn Athyn, including guests from
the General Church and The Lord’s New Church.
The session included tours of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn
Museum, and a devotional service at The Lord’s New Church Chapel.
Among those invited to speak to the trustees from the General Church
were:
The Rev. Dr. Andrew M. T. Dibb, Dean of the Bryn Athyn College
Theological School, presenting an overview of theological education in the
General Church.
Dr. Jane Williams-Hogan, Director of the Master of Arts in Religious
Studies at Bryn Athyn College, who described the program. She and the
Rev. Dr. Jim Lawrence, head of the Swedenborg House of Studies program,
discussed ways their courses might be shared to the benefit of both institutions.
The Rev. Chuck Blair, pastor of NewChurch LIVE, described how this
service is “doing church differently.” Board members felt that his “energy and
sense of commitment to pastoring the people of God in this way is inspiring.”
Many of the Board members expressed appreciation for the warm
reception they received in Bryn Athyn and for the opportunities to “build
bridges between our congregations.”
