| 内容記述 | On March 31, 1848, two sisters in rural upstate New York, Katie and Maggie Fox, made contact with a disincarnate entity through a simple system of “raps” to which it responded in kind. This incident became known as the “Hydesville Rappings.” Once news spread about the rappings, this event forever changed the way people who were associated with the movement viewed religion, death, and spirit communication; it literally shook to the very core many people’s basic beliefs and ideas about the possibility of life after death. The Spiritualist movement eventually became the “religion” of Spiritualism as more and more people sought the counsel of mediums to make contact with loved ones who had crossed over to the other side. With this new religion came the prerequisite need for “ministers” who could lead and serve the growing legions of people who were embracing in droves this new religion. This study focuses upon those who have heard a divine calling and are pursuing ordination in the Gospel of Spiritualism. Through empirical research that included data collection, questionnaires, case-studies and interviews, this paper details the process and motives which prompted aspiring students to study toward becoming ordained Spiritualist ministers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these future ministers were initially raised as Spiritualists or whether they converted from a more mainstream religion. What prompted them to want to serve the religion of Spiritualism as ordained ministers? This paper briefly outlines the history of Spiritualism, as well as addressing these questions. |
