Join us on Tuesday, November 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern as we delve deeper into the doctrine of Spiritual Freedom with featured speakers Rev. Colin Amato and Rev. Thom Muller.
Spiritual freedom is an essential of the New Church. Emanuel Swedenborg saw, in his experiences of the spiritual world, the statement: now it is permitted to enter into the mysteries of faith. Before, faith was something you were taught and encouraged to accept without much questioning, doubt, or discernment. Swedenborg saw that we were entering a new time — one in which it would be integral for every person to investigate any truths that were offered or suggested. To be a person of faith was to be in freedom to inquire, and to be intentional about witnessing and taking seriously our own inner experience.
Rev. Colin Amato is the minister of The Rainbow Church of the New Jerusalem, a virtual church community for queer spiritual seekers and allies, and clinical director at Solano Pride Center providing counseling and psychotherapy to members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
Rev. Thom Muller is pastor at the Swedenborgian Society of the East Bay at Hillside, an Urban Sanctuary, in El Cerrito, CA, senior editor of Our Daily Bread, and a street chaplain with the San Francisco Night Ministry. His passions include the intersection of spirituality and psychology, interfaith theology, and the Western esoteric tradition.
