One of the
highlights
of this
issue is the
interview
delivered to
the
journalist
Katia
Fabiana
Fernandes,
from Lonon,
by our
confrere
Maria Moraes
da Silva,
president of
the Dutch
Spiritist
Council.
Living in
Hoorn, city
located 40
km from the
capital;
Maria
exposes her
point of
view about
important
current
issues and
tells us how
she got
started in
Spiritism.
The Dutch Spiritist movement
is, according to Maria
Moraes da Silva, very recent
and its resurgence dates
back the 90s of last
century, when there were
created several Spiritist
groups which later
originated the Dutch
Spiritist Council, presided
by her, established in 2002.
The scholar Paulo da Silva
Neto Sobrinho examines, in a
special story, the thesis
that Kardec and Chico Xavier
would be, in fact, one
Spirit, what he considers to
be less likely. In his
study, the author mentions
diverse communications that
Allan Kardec’s Spirit
transmitted mediumistically
after Chico Xavier was born
in the countryside of Minas
Gerais and transcribes what
the medium himself said
about it.
Claudia Werdine foucuses, on
a new story about European
countries, the Spiritist
movement in Luxembourg,
where it has been legal,
since 2003, with the Groupe
Spirite Allan Kardec. The
story is one of the
highlights of this issue.

Last Friday, the 29th,
there was the premiere of
the movie “Bezerra de
Menezes – the Diary of a
Spirit” in many Brazilian
cities, with the actor
Carlos Vereza playing
Bezerra de Menezes and a
great cast formed by local
actors and great names of
the Brazilian theater and
TV, such as Ana Rosa, Lúcio
Mauro and Caio Blat.
We hope that Spiritist
people do not let slip the
opportunity to watch the
film, which portrays the
life of the biggest name the
Brazilian Spiritist movement
has ever heard and who the
poor people from Rio called
as "The Doctor of the Poor”.
