Spiritual Purifying Church (Tenzanese: 心靈淨化敎 Shinrei Jōkakyō) is a Tenzanese New Religion founded by Yūki Yoshiaki (結城吉明), also known by his religious name Moshiya-sama (摩賽亞樣; “Mosiah”). The movement teaches that humanity is entering a new age of divine light and purification, and it centers on the practice of Johrei (淨靈 Jōrei), a non-contact spiritual healing method through the transmission of divine light energy. Yūki taught that illness, poverty, and conflict result from spiritual impurities and that Johrei, combined with appreciation for art and natural agriculture, could cleanse individuals and society. The movement blends elements of Shimbutsudo, Soterianity, and esoteric mysticism, positioning itself as a universal faith for global salvation.
The church expanded internationally, with particularly strong followings in Ancoria, where it influenced both religious and agricultural movements. While not a large-scale religion globally, it remains present, and centered on personal healing, environmental harmony, and cultivating spiritual and aesthetic sensitivity—as pathways to building a paradise on earth.
