Naming Services

Our last naming service was on the 1st Feb 2009 taken by Ann Armstong from Mauchlin near Ayr and wasincluded as part of our normal divine service that evening

A naming service or ceremony is the Spiritualist version of a Christian Christening with one subtle difference – Spiritualists do not believe that water needs to be used to purify someone who God has already deemed to be pure - therefore when a Spiritualist naming takes place all those in attendance bring a flower – at an appropriate time during the service everyone is invited to come forward and present the flower to the person being “named”

 It is our custom for us at Dunfermline Ask to ask the Medium to present a cortage of flowers for the congregation  along with a few words to the recipient – it is a truly beautiful service, not only for the person for whom the service is organized but for everyone attending.

Naming services are held for people of any age – babies, young children and when required for adults who may have come into Spiritualism having decided to accept Spiritualism as their chosen religion.

During the naming service , as well as names already given another name is given – this by the world of Spirit through the medium – something which is truly a Spiritual experience.

“Now I feel I really belong” is the usual comment after a naming service
