100 Years On – Presidential Address 1990

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

100 YEARS ON by GORDON HIGGINSON, PRESIDENT OF THE SNU

 

The Spiritualists’ National Union continues to forge ahead and week by week new seekers of the after-life are won to our banner.  It is one of the unique features of Spiritualism that conviction is based on personal experience and experiment.  When we endeavour to interest newcomers to our movement, we do not point to some old musty records and insist that this should convince them.   We do not ask their adherence to our teachings and principles by an assertion that they must believe that which has been recorded.

 

In a dramatic age, when the individual is taught to rely on his own experience and judgement, faith grounded on authoritative teachings becomes an anomaly.  Each one who is a true seeker desires direct, personal conviction based on facts of events that inspire trust in the reality of spiritual life.  The term ‘faith’ has little attraction to the many who have become accustomed to rely upon experience which they have personally examined.Continue Reading

THE CENTENARY NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

We have seen during this century how the spiritual leadership of orthodox Christianity has been defeated by the facts of modern science, which have contradicted and exploded the myths and dogmas of the Church.  What now remain are the ruins of the Christian Church.  They fear to change lest the people realise that for centuries the teachings of orthodoxy have been wrong.  So they stick to their childish myths.

 

Let us therefore demonstrate our facts and expound our teachings in a sane, natural and intelligent manner.  Let us have vision and realise in the great changes that are rapidly taking place in the world that the hour has struck for a great advance of our movement towards a spiritual leadership of mankind.Continue Reading

Gordon Higginson Remembered

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This article was published by Lew Sutton in 2008 and is reproduced here with his kind permission.  It was written to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of Gordon’s passing. 

 

The 18th January 2008 marks the fifteenth anniversary of Gordon’s passing to spirit but the memory of him is still fresh in the hearts of those who knew him well. Not only was he an excellent mental and physical medium but also a fine orator. What is not generally known is that he was also a very good healer.

 

Gordon started demonstrating at an early age as a boy medium. Years later his life was to change dramatically. In 1970 Gordon Higginson somewhat reluctantly became president of the Spiritualist National Union – a role that the spirit world appeared to have deemed necessary for the sake of Spiritualism in the UK.

 

This was a particularly difficult time for the SNU. In spite of a huge administrative burden and a need to earn a living, Gordon continued to teach and demonstrate his mediumship. This included for many years holding materialisation séances at Stansted Hall and occasionally at other venues. His whole life was devoted to Spiritualism.Continue Reading

President’s New Year Message 1989

September 1, 2018 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

I bring you a message of hope for the on-coming year.  Though our country and the world is passing through troublesome times, when every day brings with it a new anxiety, more threats and horrific deaths, our spirit friends encourage us to face the coming year with confidence, to move forward with our message of world unity – world peace – world brotherhood.

 

They tell us we have been chosen as the architects of the future and none can relieve us from our responsibilities.  No sitting, no circle is needed to secure us the aid of the Spirit World.  If we ask we shall all receive light and help according to our measure of receptivity.  He who works for the Spirit will receive from the Spirit.
