After its recent refurbishment, reported by PN in May, Portland Street Spiritualist Church, Southport, based in the old Welsh Chapel, has appointed the Rev Glenys Clarke (pictured) as its minister.
An ordained minister with the Association of Universal Healers and Spiritualists (AUHS), Glenys is also their deputy president. The organisation was started in Gateshead some 20 years ago by the Rev Stewart Robertson and his wife Christine, using the front room of their home for services and healing. Today, as a healing association, it has 200 members and is growing rapidly.
The AUHS, now with its own trained ministers and tutors, runs courses in spiritual awareness, the history of Spiritualism, and diploma courses in mediumship. The association also offers training for spiritual healers under the leading British Alliance of Healing Associations (BAHA).
