Dear Editor,
I’m very sad to read the warning by the Baptist Union in the July issue that people grieving the death of their loved ones during the pandemic are turning to spiritualism. It’s been my experience that it is mainly older people who go to spiritualist churches, and there could be a link in the fact that 82 is the average age of people who died during Covid.
My parents were spiritualists and we children were sent every Sunday to the Spiritualist Sunday School. I am not surprised to read that the Deliverance Study Group have had people asking for deliverance ‘from some horrific consequences of becoming involved in spiritualism’. They have no idea that they are dealing with demons. Most spiritualists are simply misguided individuals struggling to cope with unresolved grief, believing that they can once again speak with their loved ones. Jesus Christ is not presented as the Saviour, but as a perfect medium to ‘the other side’. Darwin has a lot to answer for, as many spiritualists believe that death is simply going to another place that is a part of the evolutionary process.
