Subject: Why is Racism Tolerated in SNU Church?

Since I became involved with the spiritualist movement, some 15 years ago, I had always wondered how ’national’ spiritualist churches were overbearingly one religion orientated – i.e Christian. I could see why this should be so for those places of worship calling themselves Christian Spiritualists, but not the ‘National’ (SNU) type of church/ meeting place.

I have asked many people in the spiritualist movement why people from other religions / cultures do not attend the SNU Churches, I have never received a satisfactory reply.

Also, during this time I have witnessed many mediums and people in the audience express what can only be called racist comments or remarks bordering on hatred of other races.

Early in 2010, my wife and I went to a local SNU Church and during the service, the medium made several remarks about how well British soldiers were doing in Afghanistan. She also made reference to the young Muslim men in Luton who protested against Royal Anglian Battalion (Poachers) and a member of the public, referring to the protestors, was heard to say “They should have been hanged”. Such remarks can not be construed as spiritual or, indeed, decent during a spiritualist service.

My wife and I have avoided SNU Churches for some time as we are offended by racist remarks and unfavourable comments about people from different cultures and lifestyles.
