The importance of a Spiritist Week can be measured by several factors, of which the fellowship and reconciliation among spirits workers deserve special mention.
The theme is focused on this same issue in the interview that Maria de Fátima Barbosa da Silva, Alagoas, granted to our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara, in which she tells us about the experience of performing in a public square the Spiritist Week of Arapiraca, something to then unheard of in our country.
Retired from working at National Bank, Maria de Fátima currently coordinates the 5th Spiritist Regional Council of Alagoas, institution which promotes the Spiritist Week of Arapiraca, also known by the acronym SOW (SEMEAR).
How did this idea come from?
According to Maria de Fatima, in November 2012, coordinated by her entity it met the five most known and active spiritist centers of the city of Arapiraca, to conduct a seminar. Succeeding in this endeavor challenging which was the proposal to hold the first Spiritist Week of the city a fact that was in the public square, in April 2013.
To sensitize the spirits town homes, monthly meetings were held each month at a participating House, so that everyone came to feel responsible and committed to the achievement of the Spiritist Week, thus strengthening the bonds of loveliness among participants and the realization that Spiritist Cause is superior to the House and that we are all part of one family.
The first Spiritist Week of Arapiraca, with the unprecedented idea of performing in public places, constituted a landmark in the history of the Spiritist movement of Alagoas. The second Week, held this year, consolidated experience and proved that the proposal meets all the conditions to steady itself as an illuminative event of consciences in the region in which it is held.
"Sowing unceasingly behold our commitment, as Jesus awaits us for millennia and we can no longer refuse his loving invitation", here are the final words of the interview with Maria de Fatima, it would be great if it could pass in the souls of labors working in spiritist field in every corner of this vast country.
