SCNZ alive and well

[Jace]

I have a head start i guess. My ma has just been re-elected as President of the New Zealand Spiritualist Churches.
Her work is selfless ongoing and very much good for her.
She is clairvoyant and can faith heal. Her husband is a trance medium ie; he can channel spirit guides and can also heal. Sound familiar. Here are the 7 principles of spiritualism:
1/ THE UNIVERSAL FATHERHOOD OF GOD
2/ THE UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
3/ THE COMMUNION OF SPIRITS AND THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS
4/ THE SURVIVAL OF BODILY DEATH
5/ PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
6/ COMPENSATION AND RETRIBUTION, HERE OR HEREAFTER, FOR ALL GOOD AND EVIL DEEDS DONE ON EARTH
7/ ETERNAL PROGRESS OPEN TO EVERY HUMAN SOUL

A) it is not intented that the aforesaid articles are to be presented as a confession of faith, or with any authority, or as a standard to which assent is required.

B) the aforesaid articles are to be construed as expressing not the fullcreed of all spiritualists, but as supplying a common basis of beliefs on which all spiritualists can agree and unite in fellowship under them as members of the Spiritualist Church.

The only Churches I know something (not much!!) about are the Catholic and Protestant Churches we have here. I don't have a clear idea of what a Spiritualist Church is... Am I right in thinking that Spiritualists also believe in a unique God, but believe in reincarnation as well?

Does point 4) refer to reincarnation, or "only" to the survival of the soul after the death of the body?

Would you please suggest/forward me a link/URL (privately if you wish) to a web-page where I can learn more about SC...? Thanks in advance.

spiritualism is mainly left at the door during a national election
then it becomes admin and some politics
but they know who walks the walk
they do not have alot of money tied up like other churches so debate is primriliy about who can do the job and who can
