A NEW CHAPTER FOR PN

Here is a short report by Leslie Price on the Official Relaunch of Psychic News:

"Psychic News was officially relaunched as a fortnightly magazine at the London Spiritual Mission on Thursday evening. The editor Sue Farrow, Eric Hatton of JV Trust the new owners, and Roy Stemman, chair of the new paper paid tribute to those who had brought PN through the ordeal of death and resurrection.

Among well-wishers who toasted the new beginning were Tony Ortzen ( now editor of Two Worlds), Candy Taylor, editor of Psychic World, Colum Hayward resident minister at the White Eagle Lodge London, Stephen Chapman acting president of the College of Psychic Studies, Jennifer Howard editor of the Quarterly Review of CFPSS, and Alan Murdie of the SPR spontaneous phenomena committee.

Roy pledged that the archives of PN were safe in the new offices, and displayed a photograph from a half century ago. It showed Maurice Barbanell conducting a naming ceremony for the family of PN bookshop manager Gordon Adams on the same rostrum at the Mission.

Grateful thanks are extended to the JV Trust not only for their part in saving PN but for organising the celebration. There was a strong sense of continuity - the church also had long associations with such mediums as Nan Mackenzie, Albert Best and Don Galloway.

At the end of the evening, the first copies were distributed, and eagerly studied. Here’s to the new generation!"

Our thanks to Leslie for this report.

I would personally like to add how thrilled, and relieved I am, that Psychic News is once more in the hands, and the control, of true Spiritualists, who will, I am sure, do all in their power to ensure that Psychic News not only continues to live on, but to present and represent the views and thoughts, and interests, of Spiritualists around the world. Hooray!

I give thanks to Eric Hatton for his trust in Spirit and certainty that the Spirit World would find a way to save Psychic News. I offer my deepest appreciation to Sue Farrow, for all her hard work over the past 18 months, a commitment that perhaps few would know involved a level of patience, fortitude, commitment and endless hours of hard work, to see the outcome we have. I give thanks also to Roy Stemman, and Paul Brett, Magnus, and everyone else, who behind the scenes fought and fought for what was right.

One thing to definitely look at is for the website to feature prominently when you type "psychic news" into a search engine, which may require paying a fee of some sort.

Sadly too Wes currently the web site is down, you get an apology but we await the site in its full glory.

Yes I saw that when I was trying out a few different search engines, which may have affected the results...
