"Parishes in the Church of England will next month be urged to hold "Christian seances" and encourage worshippers to develop their 'psychic skills,' at a church conference.
David Christie-Murray, a former Harrow schoolmaster and Anglican priest, will call on parishes to set up a 'Christian rescue group,' or seance, to help the souls of atheists and others who have 'passed over to the other side.' Such souls, he believes, are 'lost and bewildered, in a condition in which they did not believe in this life and cannot understand now that they have passed over into the next.' He will argue that there is evidence the dead can communicate with the living."
