Alton Christian Spiritualist Church bases
its philosophy on the Zodiac Messages, sometimes called the New Revelation.
These instructions were given through the mediumship of Winifred
Moyes from 1921 - 1957. Miss Moyes devoted her first-class mediumship
entirely to this work, which gives enlightened and informed insights
into a truly Christian aspect of Spiritualism and Mediumship.
With these messages Spiritualism offers
a deep, inspiring and uplifting revelation of Christianity, enlarging
our understanding of aspects of Jesus Christ's mission.
Spiritualism has much to offer humanity
but the profundity of its philosophy is lost through misunderstanding,
ignorance, fear and the degrading of its grand and deeply comforting
message which is, "There is no death", "God's hand is
upon all creation and fails not."
Christian Spiritualism demands much
application and study before its essence is divined and revealed.
