The study of the "The Spirits’ Book" starts today

The title of this week’s editorial is “Chico and Kardec, two giants, but distinct”, that talks about Chico Xavier and his assistance work to the poorest.

One of the features of this edition is an interview given to our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara by our colleague Flávio Amaral Castilian, born in Piabetá, Magé-RJ, where he resides and is CEO of the Gospel Growers Spiritual Center. Flávio was responsible for the production and release of the book "The Young Spiritist Wants to Know" published by Lorenz Publishing, where 25 Spiritist writers respond to questions sent by members of several Spiritist youth groups. The book’s contents and goals are the central theme of this interview.

Another feature of this issue is a special article written by our colleague Americo Domingos Nunes Filho, from Rio de Janeiro-RJ, about the true identity of the medium Chico Xavier, who many associate with the encoder of Spiritism. Aligning facts and statements by the medium, the author shows that the much touted thesis, in spite of respectable advocates, has no support in reality.

The English Spiritist movement remains, as usual, very active and in constant exchange with the Brazilian Spiritists, such as the colleague Andrei Moreira, president of Spiritist Medical Association of Minas Gerais, who was in London in mid-April promoting Spiritism, as shown in the story by Claudia Werdine, another feature of this edition.

The studies of the Kardecian Pentateuch and the works of Manoel Philomeno de Miranda begin today. The books initially focused are, respectively, "The Spirits’ Book" and "Behind the Scenes of Obsession”. 

Also, as of today, this magazine counts with the assistance of our colleague Maria Reyna, worker from the Joanna de Angelis Spiritist Center in Lima, Peru. She will make the translation into Spanish of the studies of the Kardecian Pentateuch.
