Raymond: A Day of Commemoration of the Lodge Family and the First World War

As part of an event entitled ‘A Weekend of Commemoration and Hope for the Future: Stories of the First World War from Edgbaston and Ladywood’, there will be a day dedicated to Raymond Lodge at St George’s Church, Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Saturday 19 September 2015.

It includes talks on ‘Sir Oliver Lodge; Mediumship, Séances and Survival’ and ‘Religion and Spiritualism during the First World War’.

Sir Oliver Lodge was a prominent member of the SPR and its president 1901-3 and 1932.  His book Raymond (1916) is the most famous book dealing with ostensible communications from the afterlife to be published during the conflict.
