WHAT IS SPIRITUALISM?
Spiritualism became a formally recognized religion in the nineteenth century, although it's origins can be traced back to the 5th Century. A commonly accepted definition of a religion refers to the worship of a deity. For Spiritualists this involves the worship of God. Spiritualists may personally use different names for this, such as the God Force, the Divine Spirit or the Great Spirit. Spiritualism is based on seven principles, as outlined by the Spiritualist National Union (SNU). These principles serve as guidance for a way of live, but are open to interpretation. We believe in free will, and encourage individuals to conduct themselves as they see fit; in fact 'Personal Responsibility' is one of those principles.
DO SPIRITUALISTS BELIEVE IN GOD?
Yes. Our first principle, “The Fatherhood of God” refers to our acknowledgement that God is a universal presence and central to all things.
IS SPIRITUALISM A RELIGION?
Yes. Spiritualism is a religion in its own right. A commonly accepted definition of a religion refers to the worship of a deity. For Spiritualists this involves the worship of God.
