Early this month, the world has widowed another collective tragedy caused by an earthquake. This time in L’Aquila, Italy, where hundreds of people were injured and thousands are homeless. With disasters of this nature, people get shocked and certainly wonder themselves: “what to do to prevent episodes like this happen again?” – which is the central theme of the editorial this week.

Ronaldo Parpinelli, born and resident in Pedreira, São Paulo, conceded an interview to our collaborator and editor Orson Peter Carrara about his 9-year experience on the divulgation of Spiritism on the Internet, whose results have been auspicious, says the interviewee. The interview is one of the headlines of this edition.
