(swedenborgians). The sect is also known as the"Church of the New Jerusalem".

The dogma of swedenborgianism combines elements of Christianity, theosophy, pantheism, Neoplatonic philosophy and Protestant mystical teachings of the XVII century. The total number of swedenborgians at the end of the XX century - about 80 thousand people, most of them live in the United States, where the headquarters of the Church is located.
