Excerpt from Constitution of the American Association of Spiritualists and Some of the Resolutions: Adopted at the Fifth National Convention, Held at Rochester, N. Y., August 25th to 28th, 1868, With an Address to the Spiritualists of America The undersigned, feeling the necessity of a Religious Organization free from the trammels of sect or dogma, and more in accordance with the spirit of American Institutions as manifested to the world by the Declaration of Independence, than any Religious Organization now existing; believe that the time has come for concentrated action. While we seek after all truth, and believe that in united and associative action, under proper system and order, these objects can be most successfully reached, hereby unite ourselves together, under the following Articles Of Association. Article I. - Name. This Association shall be known as the "American Association of Spiritualists." Article II. - Objects. Its objects shall be to co-operate with State and Local Organizations, in the promulgation of the Spiritual Philosophy and its teachings, aid in the organization of Local and State Societies, where no State Association has been formed; and encourage the establishment of at least one National College, for the education of persons of both sexes, on terms of equality, free from all sectarian dogmas, where our children may be educated in accordance with the progressive developments of the age. Article III. - Membership. Any person may become a member by signing the Articles of Association, or causing the same to be done, and paying any sum not less than five dollars; which amount shall be paid annually thereafter, and any member may withdraw at any time, without being required to give reasons therefor. The payment of the sum of fifty dollars in one year shall constitute a person a life member of the Association.
