4) So if I attend the SSF in Halifax do I have to change faith's even though I was raised say in the Roman Catholic or Anglican belief system?
No. The SSF believes you should remain true to your own faith and calling. What the SSF offers is a place to meet, discuss and worship the faith of your choosing plus explore the Spiritual and psychic elements that are inherent in all religions.
5) I attended one of your services and the people on the platform said they were going to "step between the worlds and offer psychic messages" to those there. Is this for real?
Yes. The SSF believes communication with the so-called dead - in a universal communion of saints and spirits is a fact. It is actually believed by most of the world's higher religions but experientially shared through mediumship and other psychic and spirit phenomena. The SSF offer through out the year classes to all who wish to develop these NATURAL abilities.
6) What sort of psychic things do the SSF acknowledge?
The SSF affirms and with varying degrees practice: Clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, pyschometry, aurasensing, spiritual and psychic healing, prophecy, divination, higher forms of intuition, and communication with the spiritual world.
7) What sort of events does the Halifax SSF group do through out the year?
Over the last year the Halifax chapter has continued to offer some of the most Interesting Development Classes available in the Maritimes. From Psychic development classes, which have 3 levels, beginners - intermediate and advanced. To healing classes, Shamanic classes, Using Crystals, Psychic art, Mediumship, Trance, Psychic teas, A Psychic fair, Christmas Bazzar. There are many more. The best way to find out what is current is check the announcements in the SSF Newsletter or contact one of the Ministers and/or Student Ministers.
8) I noticed you have as part of the Sunday service a Lecture? Is that going back to school?
Well if you're meaning could you learn something, then yes. The lectures, which last between 10 to 20 minutes, are presented by local members and/or selected guests. The actual lectures are thought provoking and extremely interesting. They have ranged in the past from Shaman teachings to local native beliefs. From spiritual experiences of individuals to predictions. Astrology and numerology to healthy life styles and how that affects the spirit. Again the list goes on and on. No two lectures have been the same, and of course, each individual giving the lecture has a unique personalized experience they share with the group. On their own, the lectures are worth coming to the services on Sundays.
9) Can anyone attend the Psychic classes offered by the Halifax Fellowship?
In most cases, yes, but if you're not a member there's a slightly higher cost. It is strongly suggested a person join the fellowship. For a small fee, you not only get a year's membership, but you get on the mailing list which means you'll get the Newsletter and thus be kept informed of all the events going on throughout the year. The membership also puts you on the Montreal group list, which sponsors a major annual spring conference in Quebec. The membership also gets you a discount to some SSF events. This year (2006) if you're a member there's a FREE healing circle being held twice a month. Click here for more information.

10) Do you need to be a member in order to attend a Sunday Service?
No. All are welcome.
MichaelHiltz says, "The first chapter of the Spiritual Science Fellowship was founded in Montreal in 1977. There was a group that was in existence which simply called themselves The Spook Troup. Psychic work at that time was illegal."
