Letter to the reader

Year 15 - 720 - May 9, 2021

Who are responsible for the mistakes of the Brazilian Spiritist Movement?


The question above is scanned by our collaborator Vladimir Alexei, in the Especial titled “Spiritist exponents, Roustainguismo and the witch hunt”, one of the spots of the current edition. In the article, he exempts from this responsibility the so-called exponents of Spiritism in our country. “Evidently - says the writer - we do not deify them and we know how much their works may contain dubious content at any given moment, without thereby invalidating the whole set, because if there are uncertainties, they are not in their pillars, as the founder of the Spiritism said when analyzing an idea.”

Our interviewee today is Derni Oliveira, from Vitória da Conquista, where he lives and participates in the activities of the Spiritist Center Ernesto Dantas. Graduated in Letters, he is editor-in-chief of the spiritualist magazine Nosso Lar, which has a version in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and of the spiritist magazine Deus Conosco, as well as a speaker and presenter of the program “Na Frequência do Evangelho” on the Web Rádio Deus Conosco. In the interview he tells how the magazine Nosso Lar emerged and what its proposal was.

Spiritists from Araçatuba (SP) celebrated last month an important date: the 100 years of Spiritism in the city, whose initial milestone was the founding of the Peace and Charity Spiritist Union, which took place on April 21, 1921, thanks to the initiative of its founder, Gedeão Fernandes de Miranda. Several events were held to celebrate the date, as shown in a special article published in this edition.
