Mormon/Swedenborgian affinity?
What do we share?
Christian? Check.
Additional scripture? Check.
Modern prophesy? Check.
Eternal marriage? Check.
Also, we made the desert bloom, and they’ve got Johnny Appleseed.
They’ve got William Blake, and we’ve got … er, Eliza Snow? May Swenson? Ina Coolbrith?
Is there any trans-demoninational love between us and our Swedenborgian brothers?

Remove the check on Eternal Marriage. The two concepts aren’t very similar. One is earthly marriages made eternal, possibly with mulitple spouses, the other is “marriage” in heaven only that is exclusively monogamist. Also, one is two individuals and the other is one individual, supposedly.
They just don’t seem that similar to me.
