A beautiful case that shows the transforming power of Spiritism


From Portugal comes the report of a beautiful experience that confirms the transforming power that Spiritism has. The case is reported in the interview that Filipe Miguel Vicente Pereira, born in Santarém, now resident in Azambuja, Lisbon, Portugal, gave us. Our interviewee is the founder of Casa com Gospel, located in his city. The interview, written by Orson Peter Carrara, is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the Special “Reflections on the Spiritist Social Doctrine”, written by Cláudio Bueno da Silva, from Osasco (SP). In the article, he reminds us that what Divine Providence determines through the mechanism of its laws is, indeed, beyond human control, but, insofar as it depends on human action, we can and must act in the construction of the general welfare of the world in that we live.

Twenty-five years ago, writer, poet and cordelist Merlânio Maia and his wife Raquel Maia created the Projeto Cia. Bonecos de Lata, a work done by the couple and their daughter Mayara as an activity of solidarity and spiritist moral support offered to hospitalized patients and their families, in João Pessoa, capital of Paraíba. Journalist Carlos Barros shows us, in a special article, how the project came about and its works.
