COMPILATION OF DIRECTORY

This directory has been compiled by Walter Meyer zu Erpen and several other volunteers for the Survival Research Institute of Canada. All organizations were contacted prior to the July 2006 print edition, and the assistance of individuals who responded to requests for information is gratefully acknowledged.

The compilers have attempted to include current data about all Canadian organizations that base their services and activities upon Spiritualist philosophy and religious practice. The inclusion of some erroneous or dated information in a compilation such as this is inevitable, and the compilers regret any inconvenience occasioned by such data. The onus for ensuring that information is updated must rest with the organizations listed (see Corrections and Updates).

The listing of Spiritualist organizations begins with the Spiritualist Church of Canada (SCC), the Canadian umbrella organization with which 12 Spiritualist congregations are affiliated. Apart from those SCC congregations and four Ontario churches that are affiliated with Christian Spiritual Ministries Inc., the majority of organizations remain independent.

The main part of the directory comprises entries for 50 known Canadian Spiritualist congregations or groups, listed alphabetically by the name of the province and city in which the organization conducts its services and other activities.

The last part lists other Canadian organizations that, although not Spiritualist, share common interests with Spiritualism.
