A chat with radio host Adriano Pereira Marques

A fact that occurred to Allan Kardec in April 1860 inspired the script of one more film about spiritual subjects, due to be released at the end of this year or beginning of next year, as it is revealed in this week’s Foreword, named A new film, based on the spiritist doctrine.  

Among this edition’s highlights, we would like point out the interview fellow colleague Adriano Pereira Marques, from the city of São Paulo-SP, gave to our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara. In the interview, the young radio host talks about his experience in promoting spiritism through Boa Nova radio station, in which he is responsible for two very popular talk shows. 

Another highlight of the week is the Special article by Jáder Sampaio, from Belo Horizonte-MG, regarding the Hydesville phenomena and its importance to the appearance of modern Spiritism.  

The third highlight of this edition is an article about SEI (Spiritist Information Service) paper, an acclaimed spiritist publication in Brazil and abroad, which since October 2009 started to be edited by the International Spiritist Council.

Yesterday - October 9th – was a day to remember the so called Auto de Fé de Barcelona, a sad episode that took place on this same day in the year of 1861, when following orders of the Catholic Church, through one of its ministers, several books sent by Kardec to a Spanish bookseller were burnt. The issue was brought up in the news by Revue Spirite in November 1861.
