Volume II continues the story of Frankford's innovative and influential Swedenborgians from the eve of the United States Centennial in 1875 to the dissolution of their congregation in 1971, and beyond. The 19th century closes, the 20th century begins, and remarkable individuals interact with artistic, cultural, political, social and technological development, economic upheaval, wars, and epidemics, affecting Philadelphia, the surrounding region, and the United States. The members of the New Jerusalem Society of Frankford, motivated by their commitment to charity and their belief in caring communities, effected lasting change in all those spheres and places.
