Dear Lyn,

There is no doubt that our etheric contacts require music in order to enhance the communications. However, those of us who were privileged to witness Rita Goold's revolutionary mediumship in the 1980's were not forced to take part in a religious service or to indulge in community singing. Classical music was played on a tape recorder.

There is no way the followers of Arthur Findlay's secular scientific approach to the study of life after death could go along and witness mediumship at our local Spiritualist meeting place. The very idea of being ordered about by a minister of religion is not only absurd, it's an insult to our intelligence.

Yours sincerely

Michael Roll
