Title	General Society of the New Church Journal
Subject	Religion in Ohio Churches Church records
Place	Urbana (Ohio) Champaign County (Ohio)
Description	This journal documents the proceedings of the first meeting of the General Society of the New Church in 1855. Although several New Church congregations existed in Ohio, the meeting was the first to establish a regional Swedenborgian organization. The complete journal is approximately 200 pages long and measures 5.25" x 8.5" (13.34 x 21.6 cm). The proceedings of the first meeting are digitized here. Swedenborgians are 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 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.
