First Spiritualist Church of Rhode Island

Spiritualism is a belief that centers on a continuous life, a life that lives on even after death, even with the absence of a physical body. The core of Spiritualism is the essence of a person, or our consciousness, which does not die. Death, for people who believe in this philosophy, is simply moving into a higher phase of existence; it is not the end but a beginning of a better being. Spiritualism also believes in the possibility of communicating with those who have gone over to that new form of existence since it does not believe that life ends with death. According to this philosophy, every one of us has in us what is called mediumship, through which we can reach those who have gone on ahead of us. Finally, Spiritualism believes in the light brought by a Heavenly Father.
