“Spiritism respects all religions and teachings; values all efforts towards the practice of goodness; works towards peace and fellowship between all nations and all peoples, regardless of race, colour, nationality, creed, cultural or social standing. It also recognizes that "the truly good person complies with the laws of justice, love, and charity in their highest degree of purity.”
- The Gospel According to Spiritism, Chapter 17 - item 3, codified by Allan Kardec
BUSS maintains a website to disseminate Spiritism and unite Spiritist Societies across the UK. We invite you to join us in seminars, conferences and meetings.
Statement to the International Spiritist
Community
​
With deep serenity and respect, we inform the international Spiritist community that our dear sister Jean Anette Duncan, affectionately known as Janet Duncan, born on 6 August 1928, passed into the Spiritual Life today, on 07 January 2026.
She was a true pioneer of Spiritism in the United Kingdom.
As the translator of the first English edition of The Gospel According to Spiritism and a devoted founder of the Spiritist movement in the UK, Janet Duncan’s life journey was marked by faithfulness to the teachings of Jesus and Allan Kardec,
tireless service to goodness, and a quiet love expressed through selfless dedication.
​
Her legacy lives on in the seeds she planted, in the hearts she awakened, and in the generations who will continue the path she so lovingly helped to build.
​
In this moment of prayer and reflection, we unite in vibrations of gratitude, peace, and light, trusting that the Spiritual Benefactors lovingly welcome her and guide her safely back to the Spiritual Homeland.
​
May the Promised Comforter sustain all grieving hearts, transforming longing into hope, sorrow into prayer, and farewell into trust in the continuity of Life.
​
With fraternity and light,
British Union of Spiritist Societies
