Many confuse spirituality with Spiritualism, being spiritual doesn't make you a Spiritualist.
Spiritualism is a recognised religion and Spiritualists are people from any walk of life who follow the seven principles of Spiritualism and, if they choose to, attend the Spiritualist Church.
Again this becomes confusing because ALL are welcome at a Spiritualist church, you do not have to be a Spiritualist to attend, neither does regular attendance automatically make you a Spiritualist. You may also be a Spiritualist who follows the seven principles but doesn't attend the church. This is ok too.
Spirituality is a way of life not a religion.
You may have heard the term 'Spiritualist medium' what this means is a medium who is also a Spiritualist, not all mediums are Spiritualists, many never enter a Spiritual Church and may not even be aware of the seven principles and yet they work with spirit all the same.
These are, as I understand them, the differences between spirituality and Spiritualism.
