What is Bryn Athyn?
1.
Bryn Athyn is a small town nestled within Huntingdon Valley. The land is primarily owned by the Pitcairns, where their family has either inbred or married close relatives and stayed within the confines of Bryn Athyn over centuries to present day for financial reasons. Trusts, mostly.
Within this highly inbred, political community is a 'Christian' cult Church known as the New Church which spans globally and awards high paying contracts, jobs and even careers to the political elite. They follow the Swedenborgian writings, the deciphering of God's Word though the prophet Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish scientist, philosopher, Christian mystic, and theologian.
When compared to most Evangelical Christianities, Swedenborgianism is much more forgiving toward the Earth-based spiritualities. However, women are still subordinate, gays are still shunned, and sex before marriage/cohabitation is not tolerated.
Not very progressive although they claim to be.
On top of this all, Bryn Athyn is a Tax Free borough. All of the schools within the borough are private, belonging to the New Church. So living within Bryn Athyn is a Tax Loophole for the Philadelphia social elite.
