Spiritualism (Religious Movement) (Wikipedia)

source

Wikipedia's article on Spiritualism as a religious movement, stating that by 1897 it had "more than eight million followers in the United States and Europe", drawn particularly from the middle and upper classes and disproportionately women, and naming the camp meeting communities (Lily Dale, Camp Etna, Onset Bay Grove, Camp Chesterfield, Cassadaga) and organisations (the National Spiritualist Association of Churches, the Spiritualists' National Union) through which the movement institutionalised, a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author, hence the lower tier, though useful for this one historical membership figure and these documented site and organisation names.
