As a long-time Modern Spiritualist I am interested in the mechanics of the movement as it presently operates, the people involved, the principle of survival and spirit communication which are its bedrock.
Its history is a very minor part of the day-to-day operation and of little practical relevance to adherents of the religion we Spiritualists know as Spiritualism. Interest in the history of the religion and philosophy from anyone not a Spiritualist appears essentially academic or curiosity.
Understandably most non-Spiritualists are likely to have little interest in Spiritualism or its history.
