Welwyn Garden City Christian Spiritualist Church was founded on 2nd March 1930 when the first public Sunday service was held. It was a challenging and exciting time with the birth of Welwyn Garden City as a new town and the local pioneers of Spiritualism laying the foundations for the recognition of the beliefs which we are now able to enjoy in freedom. An example of their outgoing spirit is this extract from the 1934 AGM minutes.
‘The outstanding feature of the year was when we entertained 32 East End children and their mothers. Al fresco lunch was served in Sherrards Wood, then games and races followed by tea in the Alpha School and amusing concert items by Letchworth Young People’.
Services were held in many rented meeting places in the town over the years with healing groups and circles held in members’ homes, including the home of Jack and Susan Bullard. Jack was a wonderful healer and physical medium and apports from his circles are still displayed in our Church and Susan played the piano for services under spirit inspiration – our mediums’ room is dedicated to the memory of this dedicated spiritual couple.
