Kenton Spiritualist church is friendly and welcoming community We are taught that whilst God has a 'paternal' aspect we can also relate to a 'maternal' aspect, as expressed in the concept of a 'Divine Parent, a role attributed to God in addition to that of 'Supreme Being' Its implications are that our status in our next life will very much depend upon the quality of the life we have spent in our present world In accepting belief in the first principle it naturally follows that all living creatures are children of God and therefore our relationship with all other members of this implied 'family' is, or should be, a fraternal one What is important is that in our acceptance of our fraternity we recognise our responsibility for our fellow beings and our subsequent equality with them in matters of basic rights and justice
