How it is like to run a spiritist house located in Canada


Professor Aline Contente Abrante, our interviewee this Sunday, tells us about it. She was born in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), she resides in the city of Coquitlam, in the province of British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada. Graduated in Social Communication and post-graduated in English, she works professionally as a teacher and, in spiritist affairs, presides over the Meimei Coquitlam Society, of which she is its founder. The interview is one of the highlights of this issue.

Another highlight is the conclusion of the Special “Spiritual colonies would be circumscribed places, how so?”, by Paulo Neto, whose first part was published last week. As mentioned in the previous edition, the existence or not of spiritual cities is a matter that, despite the fact that so many works signed by serious authors have dealt with the theme, continues to raise discussions, often fierce, among the Spiritists themselves.

On Thursday, July 21st, another anniversary of the disincarnation, at the age of 69, of Professor Porto Carreiro Neto, one of the great figures of Spiritism in Brazil, especially for his contribution to the teaching and dissemination of Spiritism and Esperanto. He was born in Recife (PE), Luís da Costa Porto Carreiro Neto was born on January 7, 1895, the son of professor Carlos Porto Carreiro, a great philosopher, linguist and poet.
