Church of Cosmic Science

The Church of Cosmic Science was a fellowship of Spiritual-ist congregations founded in 1959 at Rialto, California, by Rev. William Dickensen, Reginald Lawrence, and Josephine Dick-ensen. Though small (only seven congregations in the 1970s), the church made an impact among West Coast Spiritualists through its monthly publication, Cosmic Light, which circulated widely among independent Spiritualist congregations. The church's Cosmic Light Press also published Awareness for Cosmic Truth, a set of lessons in psychic development. The former headquarters in Jamul, California, have been closed, and the present status of the group, if it still exists, is unknown.
