Best Religious Destination Hamilton Near Me

4worldlovers:
Way back, in approximately 1930, a very tall pine tree stood on a rough and rocky ledge just below the escarpment edge near Ridge Road. Each year this tree was decorated with a balance of red and green lights at Christmas time, then lit, to send forth the message of Christmas greeting to the surrounding neighborhoods. But sadly after many years, the tree began to show the effects of time and it began to sag as it was pulling away from the rocky ridge, so it was deemed unsafe to decorate it.

People had become rather attached to the idea of spreading Christmas spirit through the lighting of the tree. And something occurred to a trio of enthusiastic supporters from Ontario Hydro. Why not put up an experimental set of lights to see how it would be received?

With this in mind William Sinclair, Murray Hyslop and Bert Tyman went to work finding the best location to erect a wooden cross to share the message of "Good Will" with everyone in the surrounding area. The cross was positioned just west of the tree, and very near the edge of the escarpment. The cross would be lit during the Christmas and Easter holidays. For 5 years the wooden cross reigned on top of the hill. By 1966 time again began to take its toll. The wooden cross was falling apart.

This cross was made in December 18, 1966 in memory of George Sinclair (George Sinclair Homes) by his son William Sinclair (1925-1994). He built the cross to bring light to the community. Originally the cross was only planned on being lit up during Christmas and Easter for six weeks. However, with the help of the donations from the Knights of Columbus the cross lights up automatically every night.

An idea from the original trio of Ontario Hydro linesmen was spread through the general community looking for a permanent solution to this problem. They wanted to erect a steel cross that could stand the test of time and bring forth a reminder of the good will of God. With the support for the project spreading, things moved forward and a site just east of the punchbowl was selected as the permanent location for the cross.

Phil and Kerry, born in the UK, were both aware of the Spirit World from a very early age. Both received tuition at the world famous Arthur Findlay College, and were supported by their own mentors, who through formal training and practice, opened their minds to how Mediumship should be presented and how they both now work. Naturally, with emotional and factual evidence but with the presence of your loved one too. Their reputation is acknowledged and held in high regards throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, for the evidence they are able to provide, the spiritual truths they share and the spiritual philosophies and integrity they work within.

Nestled in the heart of the Crown Point Community, East Hamilton Spiritual Church has resided for over 100 years.

Our journey began when a devoted group of Spiritualists came together with the desire to create a space they could call their own. Land on Balmoral St. N. was purchased and the original church was built in 1921. The church would become the Spiritual hub for Spiritualists far and wide, travelling from across Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K.

In 1974, the Balmoral St. N. church property was sold to the city for redevelopment. EHSC relocated to their current home, 83 Ottawa St. N., a picturesque, cozy dwelling, steps away from the original Tim Hortons & within walking distance of many unique shops and restaurants in the Ottawa St. shopping district.

Here we are, over 100 years later, continuing to be the Spiritual haven for the Spiritual community at large, welcoming and embracing all, honoring our Mission Statement to teach and proclaim the Science, Philosophy and Religion of Spiritualism.

Come join our church family and enjoy the wonderful essence of Spiritualism East Hamilton Spiritual Church has to offer.

We are a small independent church, funded solely through the kindness and generosity of our congregant’s monetary contributions. Donations can be made by e-transfer to: easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com

We are blessed with many volunteers, who through their involvement help offset some of our operating costs.

We offer many Services, Workshops, Classes, Circles and Special Events throughout the year, to help each and every individual on their Spiritual path and are committed to keeping the costs as low as possible, to allow everyone the opportunity to attend and participate.​

We believe in being involved in our community and are proud supporters of Hamilton Food Share, The Mark Preece Family House and the 541 Eatery and Exchange Button Programme.

The mission of the East Hamilton Spiritual Church is to teach and proclaim the Science, Philosophy and Religion of Spiritualism.

"Spiritualism Is a Science" - because it investigates, analyzes and classifies facts and manifestations demonstrated from the spirit side of life.

"Spiritualism Is a Philosophy" ​- because it studies the laws of nature both on the seen and unseen sides of life and bases its conclusions upon present observed facts. It accepts statements of observed facts of past ages and conclusions drawn therefrom, when sustained by reason and by results of observed facts of the present day.

"Spiritualism Is a Religion" - because it strives to understand and to comply with the Physical, Mental and Spiritual Laws of Nature, "which are the Laws of God".
