Four Gospels Seminar: John
The Gospel of John
We are still deciding on the exact start time and length, but the seminars will be on Wednesday evenings in Asplundh Assembly Hall, with a potluck dessert partway through the evening, similar to the Rise Above It sessions we had this past year. (We will still have some Community Suppers on Fridays, but they won’t be part of this series.)
Hearing about the gospels in four seminars will only be scratching the surface, and so we are hoping that people will also slowly read through and study at least one of the gospels in its entirety this year. You can do this individually, but it will be a much richer experience if you do it as part of a doctrinal class or small group and get to hear other people’s thoughts as they reflect on and grapple with the gospels. If you are already part of a group or a class, we invite you to consider putting one of the gospels on your schedule for the year. If you’d like to be part of a group, stay tuned for more information about when and where groups and classes are meeting. We will also have resources available for individual and group study, including commentaries by New Church authors.
In Revelation 11 we read that the two witnesses “will prophesy 1,260 days” and Apocalypse Revealed 491 explains that this means “an acknowledgment of the Lord and a life in accordance with the Ten Commandments, which are the two essential elements of the New Church, must be taught until the end and a new beginning [of the church].” We have a responsibility to teach these two essential elements of the church. Last year we focused on the Ten Commandments; this year it seems right to focus on acknowledgment of the Lord Jesus Christ. What better place to do that than the four gospels? We hope that you’ll join us and that, by the end of the year, you will have grown in your understanding and love of the Lord.

Using the Calendar
It Will Display Differently on Your Phone
Some of the features of this calendar only work when viewing on a bigger screen. If you’re on a phone, look for these icons to search and change your view.
When you tap on the magnifying glass, a search box will appear. Use the icon on the right to change between month and list views. List view is recommended for mobile use.

Click on an Event for More Information
Many events have more details than will display at first. On a computer you can hold your mouse over an event title to see a summary of the description. On a computer or a phone, if you click the title of the event it will display more information, often including links to the full details for the event – the location, the cost of the event, where to buy tickets, etc.
Search
There’s a search box that you can use to search for when specific events are (e.g. you could search for Community Worship to know when the next Community Worship services are). It doesn’t work to search for a specific date to see what’s happening on that date. After you search, make sure that you’re in List View to see events from more than the current month.
Go to a Specific Date
To jump to a specific date, click the ⌄ next to today’s date and select the date or month you want to go to.
Other Notes
This is kind of clunky
Yup. This calendar isn’t as good-looking or user-friendly as it could be but we decided to make it available to you anyway, before we have all the bugs worked out. If you might be able to help make it work better, please get in touch (malcolm.smith@brynathynchurch.org).
Want to Add Something to the Calendar?
Before you contact us to add something to the calendar, please read these notes:
- This calendar is for events happening in the 19009 zip code and generally for events at least somewhat associated with the Bryn Athyn Church or General Church.
- This calendar is for events that are relevant to a large group of people. We are not, for example, including the complete ANC Secondary Schools athletics calendars in this community calendar because all of those games would not be relevant to a large enough group of people. (You can, however, find links to that calendar below.)
- We reserve the right to remove your event or not add your event to the calendar.
- Rather than adding your events manually we would prefer you to set up a digital calendar and then send us the feed from it so that we can add your events automatically.
