The history of Spiritual Science in Washington DC includes individuals whose work extended beyond the church itself. One of those figures was Rev. Henry Nagorka, a minister who later became closely connected with the publication history of the Psychic Observer.
Rev. Nagorka completed his ministerial training under Rev. Alice Wellstood Tindall at the First Spiritual Science Church of Washington DC in 1967, graduating as a minister of Spiritual Science. Within a short time, his work expanded into the editorial side of the Psychic Observer, the publication Rev. Tindall acquired in 1968.
By 1969, the masthead of the publication listed Henry J. Nagorka as Managing Editor, marking the beginning of his long involvement with the journal and its Washington years.
