Many people have not realized yet that, according to Kardec, Spiritism does not turn towards those who have a specific religious faith, but to a vast category of doubting and unbelieving individuals, subject covered in this week’s editorial, entitled “The Spiritist teachings and their target”.

The phrase “The youth wants action and emotion”, which originated the title above, was said by the confrere Maurício Moura, from Bauru (SP), in the interview that he conceded to our collaborator and editor Wellington Balbo, in which the interviewee talks about his experience in the field of Spiritist education for children and about the Girassol Project, supported by the Spiritist Center Amor e Caridade, where he is the coordinator. The interview is one the healines in this edition.

Another headline of this number is the conclusion of the rehearsal about the roots of the doctrinal incoherencies, written by our confrere and collaborator Rogério Coelho, from Muriaé (MG).

On 30th November 2008, the Spiritist Medical Association of Pernambuco State was born in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, as shown in the report written by our collaborator Leonardo Machado, which also is one of the headlines.

Next Friday 22nd May, two important dates are celebrated in the International Spiritist Scene. In this day in 1859 Arthur Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes creator, was born. He also became a talented Spiritist speaker and writer, being the author of the book “History of Spiritism”.

Six years later, in 1865, the French poet and romancist Victor Hugo disincarnated in the same day and month. He was adept of Spiritism in his Earthly life and keeps, in the spiritual plane, writing admirable works, having the Spiritist teachings as a background.
