ABSTRACT
The Spiritualist movement today can be divided in three ways. The first of these is according to beliefs. In this respect Spiritualists may be divided into Christian Spiritualists, Secular and non-Christian Spiritualists. This division does not correspond exactly with the existing organizational divisions except for the fact that all members of churches affiliated to the Greater World Christian Spiritualist League are Christians. The other major national Organization, the Spiritualist National Union, includes Spiritualists who are Christian as well as those who are non-Christian. Most Spiritualists today appear to accept some Christian beliefs and few are completely anti-Christian, but Spiritualists may be arranged along a continuum from the completely orthodox Christian to the anti-Christian, though those at the later polar extreme form a much smaller group than in the nineteenth century.
