association of independent spiritual churches (3)
Founded in 2006 in California, the Association of Independent Spiritual Churches is a confederation of independent inter-denominational Spiritual, Spiritualist, Spiritist , and New Thought churches located all around the country. It is informally known as "The Small Church Denomination," due to the diminutive size of many of its ecclesiastical structures. One of its affiliates, Missionary Independent Spiritual Church, is officially billed as "The Smallest Church in the World."
The AISC is the parent body of the Association of the Independent Readers and Rootworkers , the Crystal Silence League , the Hoodoo Heritage Festival , and the AIRR Pro Bono Fund .
All of the members of AIRR are affiliated with AISC through their AIRR membership, and in addition to doing divinatory readings and traditional rootwork for private clients, those AIRR members who are also church deacons and pastors may offer special ecclesiastical services at their own chapels, such as prayers , life cycle ceremonies, and the consecrated setting of lights .
