Interview:  Colin and Tamra Amato, Artist of the Month

Tamra writes:

Music, art, nature, Bible stories about Jesus and God's love is what saved me from what I now consider religious abuse. I felt the presence of God so intensely at times as a child...and I am so thankful because I didn't have words to describe it then but it was what kept me going. I had this knowing that we were all being held in a healing light...

I've been studying world religions since college and my spirit was on fire for learning after sobering up, so I sought out classes on every religion I could find. I would take what I could use and left the rest. But Swedenborg has held my interest for a few decades now...

Colin Amato is starting his studies at Pacific School of Religion and Center for Swedenborgian Studies working towards ordination. He recently graduated with a Master's Degree in Counseling with a focus on Jungian studies.   He and Tamra worship at  the Swedenborgian Community Church in Hillside, California.
