Michael Chester will be taking up the position of Director of the Swedenborg Centre when Neville Jarvis retires at the end of December. Michael has been closely involved with the work of the Swedenborg Centre for many years. He was a foundation member of the Swedenborg Association of Australia and its Secretary for 6 years.
Michael has a deep understanding of the writings of Swedenborg and of the teachings of the New Church, and it is his wish to make these as available and known to people out there as possible, and to help people see their relevance and use in their lives.
Michael also brings other skills to the position that he will take up. He is a trained teacher in science and maths; he has a personal interest in and understanding of yoga and of other spiritual approaches and practices.
He will take over duties at the end of this year, following the retirement of Neville Jarvis, who has served as the Director for many years, and contributed so much to the growth and spread of Swedenborg's spiritual writings during his time here.
Neville and his wife Alexis will be sorely missed, but we look forward as well to the new energy and unique input of Michael.
