Rochester Spiritualist Society

We Stand for Spiritualism 

We believe that needless division among Spiritualists should be set aside, and that our similarities unite us, while our differences strengthen us. 

 

We Stand for Tradition 

We hope to honor and continue in the tradition of the Spiritualists of Rochester, New York the birthplace of the Spiritualist Movement. We have taken the name the Rochester Spiritualist Society in honor of those early Spiritualists and first societies in order to demonstrate the continuation of our predecessors into the modern day 

 

We Stand For Freethought 

We affirm Freedom of Thought for all individuals. We believe that the Individual, through the harmonization of reason and intuition, should discern Truth for themselves without the hindrances of sectarian or dogmatic pressures. 

 

We Stand for Dignity 

We promise to ensure that all our members are respected, represented, and are given a vote and voice. We seek to provide and promote a safe environment free of all discrimination based on race, gender, national origin, disability, age, or sexual orientation. 

 

We Stand for an Open Ministry 

We affirm that Spirit manifests in a range of Spiritual Gifts, and encourage our members to honor Spirit in sharing their unique and diverse gifts with one another. 

 

We Stand for Community 

We embrace the early Spiritualist call to Social Justice and Reform, and promote active engagement and care for the needs and wellbeing of the community of Rochester, and the World.
