corrections and additions
Re: the November-December 2013 article, Seven Publications in Seven Months,
by the Rev. John Elliott: New Church Lifeline is a publication of the General
Conference of the New Church, not the Swedenborg Society, and the editor is
Alan Misson.
Richard Lines, Secretary of the Swedenborg Society, notes that Mr.
Elliot’s article did refer to several current and forthcoming translations of the
Swedenborg Society. Mr. Elliott was President of the Society from 2006 to
2009, and Vice President from 2009 to 2013. He is still active as a translator
and editor for the Society, and is a member of its Advisory and Revision Board.
Mr. Elliot says that “most of my working time in my so-called years of
retirement is spent editing and translating the Writings,” but as an ordained
minister of the General Conference, he still leads some services of worship and
writes occasional articles for Lifeline.
He notes that there is also a quarterly publication produced by the
Swedenborg Society for its members – Things Seen and Heard – edited by
Patrick Johnson.
