List of Spiritualist Organizations

From Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers

Spiritualism centers around the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living, whether via dreams or other signs, or through the assistance of a gifted spirit medium. Spiritualist churches, organizations, and associations do not adhere to a single creed.

Members of one Spiritualist body are not bound to accept the cosmology, theology, or specific beliefs taught within another body that differs widely from their own, hence these organizations are considered as separate denominations in the over-arching religion of Spiritualism.

The images on this page are drawn from various denominations of Spiritualist churches around the world.
