Organizations
The basic unit of organization in Kardecist Spiritism is the Spiritist centre, also called Spiritist society or Spiritist house. In legal terms, Spiritist centres are ordinary non-profit associations, whose members are in charge of providing funds to run the centre itself and the various charity activities kept by it. Each centre is run by a president or one or more directors elected for a term. Spiritist centres differ from Spiritualist churches in that they are not formally organized as ecclesiastical bodies. Spiritist centres offer a range of "spiritist complementary therapies" (SCT) to those seeking treatment for health problems.
