Title	Religion and Learning in the New Church Address
Subject	Religion in Ohio Education Universities and colleges Graduation ceremonies Public speaking
Place	Urbana (Ohio) Champaign County (Ohio)
Description	Reverend Frank Sewall, president of Urbana University, delivered this address for the university's annual commencement ceremony on June 10, 1868. Robert Clarke and Company of Cincinnati later published the speech, which is 34 pages and measures 5.5" x 8" (13.97 x 20.32 cm). In the address, Sewall outlines the tenets of Swedenborgians, followers of Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg (1668-1772), who hoped to provide a new sense of understanding of the Bible and religion through his writings. Swedenborg's followers established the New Church, to mark the new era in history when religion could be understood and used in a practical way. In this speech, Sewall focuses on the importance of education. In 1850, the New Church established Urbana University in Urbana, Ohio. Upon the advice of John Chapman (better known as Johnny Appleseed), a Swedenborgian missionary, Colonel John James donated the land for the school.
