  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Spiritism
Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine established in France in the mid 19th Century by the French educator Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, under the pseudonym Allan Kardec, which has also evolved into various forms of religious practice, among them some forms of syncretism that are often referred to by the same name.
In the religious side, Spiritism claims to be a collection of principles and laws based directly on the teachings of Jesus, with further revelation received from Enlightened Spirits.
The Gospels are reinterpreted in Spiritism; some of the words of Christ or his actions are clarified in the light of the spiritual phenomena (presented as law of nature, and not as something "miraculous").

Spiritism is a religious and philosophic doctrine established in France in the mid 19th Century by Allan Kardec.
Spiritism respects all religions, values all efforts towards the practice of goodness and recognizes that "a true person of goodness is one who fulfils the laws of justice, love and charity in their greatest form of purity." Therefore they accept as "perfect spirits" people from other religions as well.
The Catholic worship of the saints, for instance, is likened to the veneration of the enlightened spirits.

Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine established in France in the mid 19th Century by the French educator Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, under the pseudonym Allan Kardec.
Kardecist Spiritism not only claims to be a logical successor of Christianity, but also to be a truer form of Christianity, purified from unnecessary elaborations and additions.
Spiritism seems to have started establishing as a religion since its active participants were (and still often are) expelled from their religions but still felt the need for a place to practice some kind of worship and religious work.

 The Gospel According to Spiritism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel According to Spiritism (L'Évangile Selon le Spiritisme in French), by Allan Kardec is a book published in 1864 that relates the teachings of Jesus to Kardecist Spiritism, the moral and religious philosophy that Kardec had been publishing.
The second item argues that Spiritism is based on the highest and truer Christian morality: that it descends directly from the key teaching of Jesus.
Spirits are immortal and live several lives (reincarnations) to perfect their moral and their intelligence until they are able to be in the presence of God.

The scientific aspect derives from their "investigation" of the other world (in which they have developed an extensive terminology), with the study of the possibility of survival of the human soul and of communication with spirits being their major goal.
Present-day Spiritists see a fundamental difference between "Scientific Spiritism" (the study of spiritual phenomena) and "Kardecist Spiritism" (the religious and philosophical practice derived from them).

'''Kardecist Spiritism''' or Kardecism is a spiritualistic doctrine created in the 19th century by Allan Kardec.
Most Kardecist authors such as Chico Xavier claim to be merely mediums for spirits, who actually "psychographed" their books.
In true Kardecist Spiritism, there are no rituals; a few practices are recommended, in generic terms, such as praying and doing charity work, but not specific gestures or words are ever cited.

 Spiritism and Allan Kardec
Some people living on earth have the ability to communicate with spirits in the spirit world; whether they are called mediums, intuitive psychics, or channellers, the name doesn't matter, but in many cases the phenomena is real.
Spiritism emphasizes that the practice of mediumship in spirit communications should be sincere, instructive, and serious, to be distinguished by the subjects discussed, which should convey the teachings of morally superior spirits on points of philosophy, science, and moral values.
Spiritism, according to Allan Kardec, is a philosophical doctrine with moral implications.

In the beginning, a table spinned with the "energy" from the spirits present by means (hence the term medium) of human channelling.
Spiritism is held without exterior cult, within the Christian principle that God should be adored in spirit and truth.
The meeting is carried on with dim light (often from ultra-violet lamps) so that spirits eventually willing to manifest in visible form will not find it too hard (bright light makes materialisation more difficult as the spirit would have to use a lot more of energy to become visible against it).

Hence words in English (spirit), Latin (spiritus), and Greek (pneumon) are all synonyms for 'air.' In many belief systems, spirits are on the same plane of existence as "gods", though of much lesser magnitude.
In some parts of the world, spirits are believed to be able to possess humans and control their behaviour.
Spiritualism as a church is, however, is distinct from Kardecist Spiritism and its offshoots, and from New Age movements that practise otherwise similar mediumship as channeling.

There are many Christians, unfortunately, who suffer from the illusion that all Spiritism, or spiritistic evidence, is fraudulent, and prefer to rest comfortably in the belief that Spiritism is not an indication of demonic power in our age.
Spiritism in its various forms is a predominant characteristic of the cultural life of Brazil.
Although Johnson points out that Kardecists do not appear to be receptive at the present time and that evangelistic emphasis should be given to the "low" Spiritists, the practice of speaking to the dead is common to both (Johnson 1969:91-95).

 EIAL V1 - The Social Impact of Afro-Brazilian Cult Religion
African-derived spiritism was strongest in the slave-holding regions of monocultural agriculture on the coast and to some degree further beyond, in pockets inhabited by former slaves and their descendants.
Spiritism in Brazil, introduced in the 1870s, soon became a pastime for the élites, although it welcomed members of all social groups.
One branch of spiritism, which lives in the shadows but which is extremely active in the lives of large numbers of Brazilians, mostly in cities, is quimbanda, the darker form of spiritism dedicated to casting spells on one's enemies.

Many ethnic Yoruba were enslaved and taken to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Trinidad and the rest of the New World (chiefly in the 19th century, after the Ọyọ empire collapsed and the region plunged into civil war), and carried their religious beliefs with them.
The popularly known Vodun religion of Haiti combines the religious beliefs of the many different African ethnic nationalities taken to the island with the structure and liturgy from the Fon-Ewe of present-day Benin and the Congo-Angolan culture area, but Yoruba-derived religious ideology and deities also play an important role.
This belief is expressed in worship and sacrifice on the grave or symbol of the ancestor, or as a community in the observance of the Egungun festival where the ancestors are represented as colorfully masquerade of costumed and masked men who represent the ancestral spirits.

The Spiritist Society of Cuba represents a group of organizations that appeared during the second half of the XIX century and the beginnings of the XX century when the ideals of Spiritism (based on the works of Allan Kardec) and the phenomena of Modern Spiritualism arrived in Cuba from Europe and North America.
The book The Cuban Spiritist Society (La Sociedad Espiritista Cubana) is a selection of these spirit communications, which contain timeless lessons about the application of the Spiritist Doctrine through the life of some of the members of the Society.

 Emma Bragdon - Kardec's spiritism - Review
But in her book, KARDEC’S SPIRITISM, Emma Bragdon suggests that one healthcare system worth investigating, because it is producing real results in an economical way, is the Spiritist Healing Network of Brazil.
Originally founded by Allan Kardec (1804-1869), Spiritism involves the belief in the continual evolution of the human soul, in reincarnation, in spirits and higher beings, and in other dimensions of reality.
Providing context, in Part One, Bragdon traces the history of Spiritist movement and delves into the evolution of the human spirit through the five levels—physical, emotional, mental, integrated personality, and the “Level of Initiation.” A good life and health are not seen in isolation from the spiritual experience.

Even apparent exceptions (such as alternative health practices) often turn out to have some spiritual dimension (for example, the integration of mind, body, and spirit).
This is completly compatible with New age belief in the unity of mind body spirit and the emphasis on things natural.

Mark Driscoll, a pastor from Seattle, said that "The church is the greatest resource we have when it is full of the Holy Spirit." It is now, more than ever, that we must learn how to depend on the work of the Holy Spirit in the missionary advance of the Church.
This second principle takes for granted that mission must be Christological, because the Holy Spirit was sent from the Father and from the Son in order to glorify them both.
This is critical contextualization, which is done under the guidance of the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the missionary, and his or her given community.

The conference brought together Catholics as well as representatives of two so-called Christian religions, an indigenous cult, two Afro-Brazilian fetishist cults (Umbanda and Candomblé - animist cults that adore the devil) and Kardecist spiritism.
Finally, on Sunday morning, those present participated in a eucharistic celebration "presided over" by Friar Marcelo, Prior of the Monastery, with the poor of the region present.
He also affirmed that achieving Christian unity should be approached with a sense of urgency, "The Gospel itself compels us; the spirit of Christ impels us." (The Tidings, January 28, 2000) It remains to be known what exactly it is that is pressuring Mahony to demand this rush.
