What different religions say about death
 

This week’s editorial, Among those called to Spiritism many will go astray, examines the criticism that some colleagues have on the practice adopted by many Spiritist Centers to worry about welcoming and comforting those people who seek them, driven by all types of problems.

Ana Lúcia Akemi Sakurai, who has lived in Japan for 16 years, talks about her experience in the dissemination of Spiritism in Japanese lands and her work with the Spiritual Study Group Dr. Richard Dwannees Stan, founded in this country in July of last year. The interview is one of the features of this edition.

Another highlight of the week is the special article by Marcus De Mario, from Rio de Janeiro-RJ, on the topic “Death”. In his article, the author shows us the vision of the Spiritism and of many other religions on this subject.

Pedro Siqueira, 39, lawyer and law professor from Rio de Janeiro-RJ, is considered a phenomenon within the Catholic Church for his psychic gifts and ease of transmitting messages from the spirits, as Ana Moraes shows in a special report which is also one of the features of this edition.

Since last Sunday the Virtual Library on our website contains the complete collection of works by Chico Xavier, sorted by year of publication, by spiritual author and in alphabetical order. Besides the cover, the reader is offered a synopsis and the preface of each work, as well as the practical means of proceeding with the respective download.

This work, which took several weeks of intense research effort and is something hitherto unheard within the Spiritist community, will improve the dissemination around the world of this treasure that we owe to the late medium and the selfless spiritual authors.
