Swedenborg versus Spiritualism On Worship and Authority
The author contrasts Swedenborgian worship centered on the Lord Jesus Christ with Spiritualist practice relying on spirit guides. Swedenborgians worship the Father of Spirits and reject mediumistic mediation, while Spiritualists lean on former earthbound spirits and deny a central deity. The piece argues Swedenborgians possess a direct, illuminated relation to God, unlike Spiritualists who defer to guides and deny Jehovah as ruler.
