Rev. Frances Adam

Rev. Frances Adam took over as head pastor of Divine Inspiration after the death of Rev. Harrs. At the time it was recorded in the Democrat and Chronicle that she was 'the youngest ordained Spiritualist pastor in the area.'

During the beginning of her ministry Rev. Frances dedicated much of her work to dealing with many of the legal issues surrounding the transfer of property of the original site of the church, and eventually secured their current location on Appleton Street. She managed this all while continuing the keep the congregation united and in good spirits.

In 1943 through her leadership and dedication to Divine Inspiration, a beautiful Healing Shrine was built in the prayer garden in the back of the property.

A special service was held for the dedication, and the grounds and shrine were blessed in a ceremony by the Rev. Converse E. Nickerson, a prolific Spiritualist writer, theologian, and missionary of the General Assembly of Spiritualists.

According to the Church of Divine Inspiration's Website, Rev. Adam continued as Pastor until 1945. She continued to serve the Rochester Spiritualist Community giving lectures and serving in churches.
