The advent of Modern Spiritualism began in
1848 when the Fox Family in Rochester, New York developed a code with
the spirit of Charles Rosna. The religion of Modern Spiritualism was developed
under the guidance of pioneers who believed that communication with the
so-called dead is a proven fact. Many of these pioneers were also ardent
abolitionist and supporters of women’s and Native American rights.
The Church of the Spirit was founded in 1897 by Rev. Frank Joseph and
was known at the time as Bund Der Varheit No. 18 (Band of Truth No. 18).
In 1915, the society purchased the present church building from the Evangelical
Free Church and the name Chapel of the Spirit was adopted.
In 1928, the Church was registered in Cook County as The Church of The
Spirit of Logan Square. The name was changed to its present title, Church
of The Spirit, in 1944.
The Church, an affiliate of the National Spiritualist Association of Churches, is governed by
the Board of Directors in compliance with its Constitution and By-Laws,
and is supported wholly by voluntary contributions of its members and
friends.
The Church of the Spirit’s congregation is
multi-generational and multi-ethnic.
Members come from throughout northeastern Illinois and from as far away
as northwestern Indiana.
The National Spiritualist Association of Churches
(NSAC)
promotes and provides an environment
free of all discrimination based on
race, color, sex, national origin, disability, age, or sexual orientation.
