The Corinthian Church & Healing Association

The Corinthian Church and Healing Association was founded in 1993 by Rev Ron Jones and his wife Valerie. Both had been involved with the Spiritualist movement for over 30 years working as Mediums and Healers. They found themselves becoming more and more restricted by rules and regulations. These seemed to do nothing to add value to the organisations they served, resulting instead in frustrating and alienating people. They felt there must be a better way, a more “Spiritual Way”, which acknowledged an individual’s intrinsic right to the freedom to peruse their personal Spiritual path, in their own way, without fear of judgement. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Corinthian Church is not saturated with dogma, and concerns itself with Spiritual belief rather than “religion”. Different world religions try to impose rigid doctrines about God and to control an individual’s relationship with their Deity. “The Spiritual Way” is more concerned with the common denominators of belief and common life experiences of those on their own Spiritual path. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The word “Corinthian” was taken from the Bible. It is one of the letters from Paul who founded his own Church in Corinth. It is only in the book of Corinthians where the Gifts of the Spirit are listed. This organisation believes that this list of gifts/abilities are becoming more common and more relevant today than ever before. People have often come to us at the end of their tether, unable to understand or deal with their own gifts. Often they have been failed and damaged further by an organised religion’s inability to understand. We can understand and support these people from a position of personal experience without dogma or condemnation. It is one of our main aims to promote and teach the art of Spiritual Healing. We also teach the art of Mediumship in a safe and supportive way. In removing the “mystery” of these things we endeavour to make them accessible to all. - - - - - - The Corinthian Church has the same registration status as all other religions recognised in law. This enables us to appoint and ordain ministers for the purposes of conducting marriage and baptisms in the same way as other organised religions. Whilst we “don’t do religion and dogma” our leaders are legally ordained and given the title of Reverend. This is to ensure it is simple for anyone who visits us to know who to approach instantly if they need to
