The Future of the Afterlife
A Workshop on Life After Life with Dr. Raymond Moody
Saturday, March 3, 10:00 am - 2:30 pm Flyer (pdf)
The Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco
Are near-death experiences evidence of life after death? In this lecture, Dr. Moody describes the characteristics of the profound spiritual experiences of people who are revived after clinical death. He also presents insights into this mystery from great thinkers as diverse as Plato, Swedenborg, and Hume. Dr. Moody offers evidence that we are on the verge of revolutionary new discoveries relating to the biggest question of
human existence: Is there life after death?
Dr. Moody is a world-renowned scholar and researcher. Dr. Moody is the leading authority on the 'near-death experience'—a phrase he coined in the late seventies. Dr. Moody's research into the phenomenon of near-death experience had its start in the 1960's. The New York Times calls him "the father of the near- death experience."

Seating is limited. The workshop fee is $35 per person and includes lunch. If payment is received by February 18th, the fee is discounted to $30 per person. Register now with PayPal or contact info@sfswedenborgian.org.

Exhibition of In Company with Angels: Seven Rediscovered Tiffany Windows
February 11, 2012 - May 20, 2012 [ Link ]
Robert Z. Hawkins Gallery at the Nevada Museum of Art
Created by Tiffany Studios in New York City at the beginning of the 20th century and named for the angels in the Biblical Book of Revelation, the seven windows in this exhibition were originally installed in the Church of the New Jerusalem in Cincinnati, Ohio. The church was taken by eminent domain and demolished for highway construction in 1964, and the windows were crated and stored in various garages and sheds for decades until their re-discovery in 2001.
Thursday Night Music & Meditation
First Thursday of each month in the Parish House, 7:15 pm.
Come unwind from your day with silent prayer, reflection, candlelight and calm, with quiet meditative music.
This is not a meditation class, but a chance to take a little time to relax and breathe.

Helping the Homeless
Please keep the Rev. Megan Rohrer, executive director of Welcome Ministry, and her ministry, in mind, by bringing personal grooming items (like the little shampoos and stuff you get free in hotels) as their supply is almost gone and the numbers of people at the Saturday Community Dinners is increasing. Please bring your soaps, shampoos, toothpaste and toothbrushes and all those personal grooming items you collect during your travels. Ask family members, co-workers, and friends who keep a “secret stash” of these, and ask them to share them for a good cause. Plus, there is always a need for new socks (plain white tube socks) and underwear (men's underwear in a variety of sizes.) You can drop the items off in the wicker basket in the Parish House on Sundays, or during the week. Let's fill it, so we can make another delivery to Rev Megan Rohrer at Welcome Ministry (http://www.welcomeministry.org/).
