The USSC emphasizes that affiliated Spiritist organizations shall continue to maintain their autonomy, independence and freedom of action. Affiliation is always voluntary, with the sole purpose of promoting the fraternal union aimed at the improvement and enhancement of the activities of the affiliated institutions as well as the activities of the Spiritist Movement.
To become a member, interested organizations need to fulfill the following requisites:
That their purposes and objectives be based on the principles of the Spiritist Doctrine as codified by Allan Kardec.
That their organization be incorporated and registered according to local, state, and federal laws. (In order to assist with this process, the USSC will mail samples of Articles of Incorporation and/or By-laws upon request. These samples are intended solely as a general guideline and should be adapted to the needs of each group, and specifically to pertinent local, state, and federal laws.)

Spiritism
The Spiritist Doctrine, basis of Spiritism, is found in The Spirits’ Book consisting of 1019 questions answered by Spirits of a High Degree, transmitted through various mediums. These answers were collected and set in order by Allan Kardec, who published four other books explaining further the Spiritist Doctrine: The Mediums’ Book, The Gospel According to Spiritism, The Genesis and Heaven and Hell. These five books together comprise the Codification of the Spiritist Doctrine and were originally written in French, Kardec’s native tongue.
There are two short pamphlets that will explain the Spiritist
Doctrine and its dissemination activities in a nutshell:
- Get to Know Spiritism
- Disseminate Spiritism
