Ok, so I sometimes take these crazy tangents in Wikipedia. I was on facebook, and someone had posted an rare video of Helen Keller, so I went to look something up about her, and of the many things I read, I heard that she was somewhat of a proponent of Emanuel Swedenborg, which lead me to something called the New Church Movement. I had barely learned anything of it, but I found this paragraph:

Although the movement is completely separate, some members make some acknowledgement of Emanuel Swedenborg, who preceded the foundation of their church by over 150 years.

I haven't read enough to know why some might find it similar, but thought it might make an interesting discussion. Anyone heard of this?
