I don't understand who the members of (quote) "....the largest spiritualist group in the USA." actually are or what it's meant to imply.
By contrast in the UK we don't have 'Spiritualist groups'. We do have individuals who see themselves as Spiritualists and who often attend their local Spiritualist church or centre, mainly SNU Spiritualist ones. There they will be with other Spiritualists and sometimes with visitors who aren't necessarily Spiritualists.
In such churches and centers they can attend demonstrations of mediumship by mediums who are Spiritualists. BUT - and this 'but' is very important - mediums are not all Spiritualists and being a Spiritualist is NOT a prerequisite to being a medium.
What you have reported wouldn't happen in a UK Spiritualist setting. It might happen in a commercial one, though. I expect there was a substantial charge to attend the meeting you talked about?
