Membership
Church of Radiant Lights (CRL) was founded in 1983 by mediums and energy healers Joseph Cecil, William McClellan, and Mary Sobczak. Mary, Joseph, and William created a Spiritualist church to serve others by teaching and inspiring them to connect to Source. They also ordained members to carry their Radiant Light out into the community and to perform weddings and other rites. Since 1983, we have ordained over 1,000 people.
