Dunfermline Ask. (Association of Spiritualists & Kindred Spirits.)

These guidelines are offered to visiting mediums, taking our divine service.
to outline the expectation of Dunfermline ASK and is also for new enquirers information to the format and order of service.
If you require more information or help of a spiritualist nature especially healing please do not hesitate to contact us.
...
We are aware that mediums offer their time and effort to work with spirit, to provide support
and proof of existence after the physical death to patrons
However we also acknowledge that this work should be carried out with dignity, honesty
and professionalism. Therefore we would request that all mediums taking to the platform,
be dressed suitably attired for a divine service. This will involve no jeans or trainers etc.
Gentlemen please remember your tie.
Visiting mediums should feel free to bring novices by prior arrangement.
The Order of the divine service will be in the following format:
- First Hymn will be chosen by medium from our hymn book

- Opening prayer (Please ensure that this is not a religious instruction, as we are
a multi denominational organisation and respect all faiths.)
- Healing minute, flower dedication and reading by one of our members. .

- Second Hymn chosen by medium from our hymn book.

- Address and philosophy by medium on a suitable topic. This should ideally consider the
previous hymn, the reading and observe the seven principles which we subscribe to.
This should not be an opportunity to offer any personal views on politics,
of any specific religion or organisation.

- Short meditation for congregation

- Mediums will be invited to offer clairvoyance to the congregation.

- Clairvoyance should be offered from the platform. In order that a respectful distance is
maintained from the congregation, mediums are requested not leave the platform at any point
during the service. Patrons’ wishes are to be respected at all times. If a recipient refuses a message
or part of a message twice, it should not be pursued for a third time. We understand some messages
may contain medical information, however this must be delivered in general terms, no diagnosis
or medical advice can be offered, other than referring the recipient to seek advice from their
own doctor. Mediums prove the evidence of survival and are not fortune tellers.
However there are times when a medium may ask the recipient to hold onto a piece of information.
This will normally be to provide the recipient with further proof beyond the service.

- Closing prayer (please ensure that this is not a religious instruction, as we are a multi
denominational organisation and respect all faiths.)
Thank-you
