14 new full members of our Church who were accepted into full membership at a special service on Sunday 29 Jan. Thanks for bringing your friends and family and making it such a special occasion. it was lovely to see the Church packed with not a seat to spare!
The last year has undoubtedly been one of great excitement and change for our Church as we moved into the new Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre in Palmerston Place and embarked upon a new phase of our Church’s life and mission. With 110 years of experience in promoting the religion of Spiritualism in Edinburgh and the Lothians, 2012 promises to be one of equal challenge as our Church starts another year of activities aimed at growing our congregation and membership; making more people aware of our work and purpose.
In a modern age of social networking and technology our philosophy and belief is more accessible than ever and we, like all other faiths, must embrace the opportunities that offers us to ensure that the message of Spiritualism reaches as many people as possible. I hope that 2012 offers you the opportunity to change your life and become stronger, healthier and more spiritually aware as we all strive to become more conscious of the helpful guidance that spirit and God has to offer us all.
A Happy New Year
from all at the
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre

October 17th 2011:
John Blackwood OSNU speaks to Sue Gyford of Edinburgh Evening News about the new home for Spiritualism in Edinburgh's West End...
John said, “Everybody thinks ‘Spiritualism is only about talking to dead people’. People often confuse us up with occultism, fortune telling, superstition – all of which we don’t believe in."
"We’re trying to get the message across that Spiritualism is a religion like any other. Our services are normal services like any other church, but we’re quite inclusive and diverse as a religion, encouraging people to understand that all religions have something to offer and what is more important is how people relate to what they perceive to be God.”
