What is a child? The answer may seem obvious—until we step inside the world of alternative spiritual communities, where children may be revered as enlightened masters, treated as spiritually unformed subordinates, or embraced as equal souls in small bodies.
Drawing on years of field research, this lecture explores how new religious movements (NRMs) understand childhood, and what those understandings mean for the children who grow up within them.
These patterns come to life through case studies of twelve movements, including the Children of God, Rajneeshpuram, the Twelve Tribes, ISKCON, the Raelian Movement, MOVE, and the Order of the Solar Temple. The lecture raises broader questions: And what can these movements teach us about our own culture’s assumptions about childhood? RSVP to reserve a seat to Info@SwedLib.org.&nbsp;
DR. SUSAN J. PALMER is a Canadian sociologist of religion whose primary research focus is new religious movements. She is an Affiliate Professor at Concordia University in Montreal and Principal Investigator of the SSHRC-funded research project “Children in Sectarian Religions and State Control” at McGill University’s School of Religious Studies, where she is also a member of the faculty. The author of twelve books on new religious movements, her notable works include "Moon Sisters, Krishna Mothers, Rajneesh Lovers" (Syracuse, 1994), "Aliens Adored: Raël’s UFO Religion" (Rutgers, 2004), "The New Heretics of France" (Oxford, 2011), and "Storming Zion: Government Raids on Religions" (Oxford, with Stuart Wright).This Autumn Wm Bruce Lecture is sponsored by the New York New Church Legacy Fund and the Swedenborg Library Chicago.&nbsp;

Vanderbilt University Chancellor Daniel Diermeier and Columbia University President Jennifer MnookinWhat does it mean to build a university community at a moment when the very idea of community feels fraught? Join Vanderbilt University Chancellor Daniel Diermeier and Columbia University President Jennifer Mnookin for a conversation about the future of campus life.
College campuses have long been places where people encounter ideas, experiences, and perspectives radically different from their own. But how can universities make those differences a meaningful part of education rather than a source of deeper division? How should institutions balance free expression and civil discourse with the responsibility to create environments in which students can learn and thrive? And as artificial intelligence transforms how we teach, study, research, and even think, what aspects of a university education become more vital to our society?
Diermeier, an internationally renowned political scientist and management scholar, has made free expression and civil discourse central to his leadership at Vanderbilt. Mnookin, a nationally recognized legal scholar who became Columbia’s 21st president in 2026, previously served as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she launched major initiatives around artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary research, and intellectual pluralism and dialogue across difference.
Hear them in conversation as they explore what universities owe their students and society, how campuses can engage in respectful disagreement across differences, and what it will take to create intellectually vibrant communities for the 21st century.

We are convening in this historic space to spark actionable solutions. (FREE EVENT/FREE REGISTRATION - ALL ARE INVITED; MEN, WOMEN, YOUNG and OLD)
Our explicit objective is to move beyond highlighting statistics and focus heavily on systemic and actionable strategies. To guide our panelists, we have compiled the following six core pillars:
1.Dismantling the Historic and Systemic Barriers: Devising effective and actionable programs, tactics and community efforts to combat, dismantle, and/or neutralize barriers and systems inhibiting progress and justice for blacks in general, and black males in particular.
2.Dismantling the School-to-Prison Pipeline: Developing concrete strategies to help improve school performance, and also to disrupt punitive educational systems and reduce the justice gap that leaves Black youth nearly six times more likely to be incarcerated than their white peers.
3.Economic Empowerment:
Exploring innovative pathways for workforce development to counteract volatile youth unemployment rates.
4.Mental Health &amp; Healing:
Fostering tailored healing circles and support systems to address the unique traumas driving mental health crisis among young Black men.
5.Strengthening Family &amp; Fatherhood:
Building support systems that cultivate family formation while actively debunking harmful stereotypes about Black fathers.
6.Navigating Policy Shifts:
Analyzing what the erosion of civil rights protections under the Trump administration means for Black youth, and sharing strategic frameworks to minimize these adverse impacts.
