Spiritist Week in Londrina reaches at its twentieth edition
 

This week’s editorial, The role of books in promoting Spiritism, highlights the role of the International Spiritist Council in the publication of a large number of books translated into several foreign languages.

Marlene Bertoldo da Silva, born into a spiritist home and current director of the Department of Spiritist Social Assistance and Promotion at the Spiritist Federation of Rio Grande do Sul, talks, among other things, about the disease that she recently faced with courage and optimism and also about the challenges and opportunities facing us in the spiritist social assistance. The interview granted to our collaborator Antonio Augusto Chaves do Nascimento is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight of this edition is the special article "Social assistance in light of the spiritist teachings" in which the author points out that the goal of spiritist social assistance is not, as many think, merely to satisfy perishable bodies, but to enlighten and form individuals with healthy consciences from the physical, psychological and spiritual points of view.

The 20th Spiritist Week in Londrina, launched yesterday and promoted for the first time by the Londrina Metropolitan URE, brings to that city speakers who never attended the event in previous editions, like the colleagues Jamiro Santos and Adeilson Salles, as shown in a special report which is also one of the features of this edition.
