Religious Relics in Spiritualist Churches.
Why are religious relics placed in Spiritualist churches frowned upon?
It has come to my notice that religious relics such as crosses and other such like should not be displayed in Spiritualist churches.
Why?

Because they're no part of Spiritualist teaching - why would they be displayed when they relate to other religions? |

My opinion is,religious relics are displayed to welcome anyone who follows another religion,into a spiritualist church.
A welcome sign to state that spiritualism is for all. |

If icons and symbols of other religions were on display to that end, for correctness there would need to be something from all other religions.
Spiritualism is different from traditional mainstream religions - it doesn't have any equivalent to the Bible, no symbols etc. and I like that.
Let's celebrate our differences and remember the all-important message of survival that Spiritualism brings; a message underpinned by evidence obtained through mediumship. Symbols play no part.
Let's keep it that way. |

From what I have read recently,the 'powers to be of Spiritualism' have dictated that no religious relics should not be shown in any spiritualist church.
I leave that open for other's opinions.

Every natural medium I have ever met or spoken to throughout the world ALL believe in God (or whatever name you choose to call Him by) or at least a far greater power than themselves. This is one of the big differences between natural and forced mediums. We as natural mediums know the gifts we were born with come from Him and it is He who works through us. God is the healer, not mankind and the fact so many think they are the ones doing it all is why so many are now seeing their gifts being taken from them or dimmed.
All are born with gifts and they are all different form each other. Some will excel at some things and others will excel at other things. Those born with a talent or gift will excel in that field and others who do the same thing will be mediocre in it. We can all sing for example, but those born with the gift will be Pavaroti's of the world whereas the rest of us can be adequate and do well, but we'll never reach his standards. The same is said of mediumship and healing.
If you don't believe in God, then you won't be a natural medium.

I find no problems with that principle.
Christian Spiritualist churches are those most likely to display symbols found in Christian churches. I don't attend them so I don't know if they display symbols found in churches of other denominations.
Perhaps there are some Christian Spiritualist members who can help with that point?
As in any other church, any other denomination, one is surely reasonable to support the church where one feels most comfortable? |
