Spiritualism is More Virile Than Ever – 1989 Presidential Address

February 28, 2019 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

In a far-reaching and rallying call to delegates at the Spiritualists’ National Union’s annual conference in 1989, President Gordon Higginson said that despite obstacles and hostility, Spiritualism “is more virile today than it has been in its history.”  

 

Urging members to continue the work of the movement’s pioneers, he called for Spiritualists to play a more active part in the world around them and help create a new standard of human life and welfare.  But in frank mood, Gordon also said that some Spiritualists “are not prepared to act as spiritual beings.”   Here is the full text of his speech:

 

“The pioneers of the Spiritualist movement will again be gathering around us this weekend.  Our movement has a long line of pioneers.  It is so lengthy it fades away into the distance.  Names tend to be forgotten, but their work lives on after them.  You and I, too, will leave traces on that road which is winding into the future.  Traces of the work we do will remain when people have forgotten our names, our initials and, thank God, even our mistakes!

 

Our pioneers were subjected to every form of scorn and abuse.  They were called upon to make sacrifices for the truth which they prized because it brought them liberty and a new knowledge.   They lost their jobs; they were stoned and pelted in the streets.  Their homes were invaded.  The windows of their homes were smashed.  Their meetings were broken up by ruffians.  They lost friends.  But still they went on.  They knew Spiritualism was true and stood by it.

Open Letter – Let’s Remember Our Pioneers

February 19, 2019 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

Offered below is an Open Letter written by Gordon Higginson following his stroke at Torbay in April 1990 which was followed by a mini stroke.  It is a wonderful letter that demonstrates Gordon’s spirituality even in times of personal difficulty.  It is also includes an article written by Jean Bassett in which she writes about Gordon.  Gordon’s greatest fear following the stroke was that he would be unable to do his mediumship as it disappeared for a short while.  He was overjoyed when it returned and he was able to resume his demonstrations.

 

LETS REMEMBER OUR PIONEERS by GORDON HIGGINSON

Shock waves reverberated not only within the SNU but the whole Spiritualist movement when it was announced a few months ago that Union President Gordon Higginson has suffered a stroke.  Thankfully, he is making a good recovery.

 

Despite his illness, Gordon still plans to attend the Union’s Annual General Meeting, which takes place in Manchester next weekend.

 

Gordon was also determined to send a special message to Spiritualists for this supplement.

 

In this beautifully worded open letter he asks that the “true spirit of love and friendship helps us to fulfil our spiritual destiny and receive instructions from the spirit world.”  Here is the letter in full:
