Tomorrow, All Souls’ Day is commemorated in Western Christianity. It’s a celebration that appeared in 998 in France and is, as we know, a special date for the Catholics around the world, as shows this week’s editorial, entitled Faithful Departed. 

One of the highlights in this edition is the interview that Jussara Pretti Korngold, vice president of the United States Spiritist Council, conceded to the journalist Katia Fabiana Fernandes, from London. During the interview, Jussara – who lives in New York – talks about the Spiritist Movement in the United States of America, country where she performs various activities, such as translations, speeches and social services, in addition to her role in the Council. 

Another highlight in this issue is the special report by Marcus Braga about the influence of comics in children’s imagination and their relation with the Spiritist teachings. 

A State Conference of Youth Coordinators, promoted by the Spiritist Federation of Parana, took place in Curitiba, counting on the participation of the confrere Alberto Almeida as covered by our correspondent in Curitiba, Claudia Rojas.
