Spiritism

intense
persecution by

Church

also
associated
with the
Instituto Obreiros do Bem in
that
same
city,
talks
about his
experience
as a
writer
and
his
goals
in regards
to the dissemination of
Spiritism.
Another highlight of the
week
is
the
continuation of the special
series by
Marcos
Paulo de
Oliveira
Santos,
