Universal Christ Church

The Universal Christ Church is a small fellowship of Spiritualist congregations in Southern California. It was founded in 1970 by Rev. Anthony Benik and was unique in its acceptance of an element of ritualism in its worship. It operates out of a Spiritualist perspective and reincarnation is accepted. Most of the churches are in the Los Angeles area, but there is one large congregation reported in Australia. In the 1970s there were five congregations in the greater Los Angeles area, but recent attempts to contact the church have failed. Its present status is unknown.
