Thank you for your thoughts but really I haven't contributed anything much to the actual topic - History of Spiritualism. And as I stated earllier I'm not knowledgeable about that so I won't write about it in any detail.
I am blissfully unaware whether it used to be (imperfect tense) truly orientated towards, or by, Christianity but I'm not aware of much influence from Christianity other than in Christian Spiritualism - a bizarre hybrid.
Perhaps the most influence I'm aware of in UK Modern Spiritualism is the so-called Divine Service on Sundays. I won't attend those because they're too similar to certain mainstream religions' approach.
