This thread is donkey's years old. My dear friend deepsea (quoted post) passed over some time back after years of declining health.

She will now be home with he beloved husband, Ken, who passed several years before her and who she desperately missed, the reason she came looking for understanding of survival, a subject about which I was able to help her. She'll now have found in the world of the spirit all the things she learned about while she was here with us on earth. You're remembered and missed, Joanie.

In the UK - where Spiritualism is much more active than here in the US where it originated in upstate New York - Spiritualism was constituted as a religion in the 50's, last century, last millennium.

Spiritualism is widely acknowledged as a religion by many UK bodies and organisations and recently representatives from the SNU took part in our Cenotaph Remembrance ceremony in London, UK.
