The Society of Communion was an English Spiritualist organisation that was "Formed to Study and Make Known the Findings of Psychical Research, as Loyal Servants of our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ." It was described as being constituted of clergy belonging to the Church of England,[1] in particular the Revs. G. Henslow and Charles L. Tweedale, under the leadership of the named president Ellis T. Powell, who died shortly after the founding of the society, and thereafter was apparently working from the spirit world with the support of an "organizing" president, J. W. Potter, the leading minister of the Church of the Spiritual Evangel of Jesus the Christ.
