Since 1939 the SNU has been legally recognised by the Home Office to appoint people who demonstrate the right characteristics to hold the highest office within SNU Spiritualism.
The Ministership of the SNU is granted to those who have been selected as worthy to represent Spiritualism by their educational qualifications, practical ability and good example they give as Ministers of Religion.
Our Ministers have the same rights and privileges as any other Minister of Religion. The Ministry is administrated by the Ministers Administrative Committee under the direct control of the National Executive Committee of the SNU.
