About
The Spiritualists' National Union is the largest Spiritualist organization in the United Kingdom, supporting Spiritualist churches and promoting spiritual education across the country. Its work spans the whole institutional life of British Spiritualism: an accredited network of churches and centres, a training system for mediums and healers, a lyceum for young people's education, and the Seven Principles that form the movement's philosophy.
Education is the SNU's institutional heart. Its courses cover church leadership and management, Spiritualism and mediumship, healing and lyceum teaching, and its education arm centers on the Arthur Findlay College at Stansted Hall, the movement's residential college. The union accredits mediums, certifies healers, ordains ministers, and organizes district councils that carry Spiritualism into communities across the UK.
The SNU publishes The Pioneer journal and a philosophy pamphlet series, runs SNUi online courses and events, holds its annual general meeting, and maintains safeguarding, governance and charitable work including its Fund of Benevolence. For a religion organized around evidential mediumship, the union is the infrastructure that keeps the practice trained, tested and church-supported. The institution's stated mission: Supporting Spiritualist Churches and promoting spiritual education across the UK.
