Sunday Lyceum Book Study

Sunday Lyceum Book Study – 9:30 AM

Our Sunday Lyceum book study meets every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM, just before our Spiritualist Sunday Worship service at Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, VA. It is a quiet, thoughtful start to the day, focused on spiritual learning and honest discussion.

What We Do In Lyceum

Each week, we work with a selected book that supports personal growth and deepens our understanding of Spiritualist principles. We read, reflect, and then talk about how the ideas show up in real life.

First, we begin with a brief check-in and a short reading from the current book.
Next, we open the floor for discussion. People share insights, questions, and personal experiences.
Finally, we look at how the material connects with Spiritualism and with our own daily choices.

The tone stays open, respectful, and practical. You are free to speak or simply listen.

How Lyceum Connects To Spiritualism

Lyceum has long been part of Spiritualist tradition as a place for education and spiritual development. In our Sunday Lyceum book study, we use the book in front of us as a springboard to explore topics like:

• Natural law and personal responsibility
• The continuity of life and Spirit communication
• Healing, service, and spiritual growth

You can also visit our Spiritualism and Declaration of Principles pages on this site to see how these ideas fit within our core beliefs.

Who Can Attend

You do not need to be a member, a long-time Spiritualist, or a big reader to join. You can jump in at any point in the book. We recap as needed so new people can follow along.

Many participants stay after Lyceum for our Sunday worship service, since the two often complement each other. If you want a thoughtful, low-pressure way to learn and ask questions, the Sunday Lyceum book study is a good place to start.
