A chat with the
psycho-pedagogue Marcos
Paterra
“Brazil after the
World Cup"
is the title of our
editorial, with
considerations about the
2014 World Cup, a beautiful
party that ended 14 days
ago, the outcome of which,
however, not even the most
pessimistic of Brazilians
could imagine.
Interviewed by our
collaborator Marcus Braga,
the speaker and spiritist
psycho-pedagogue Marcos
Paterra, from João Pessoa-PB,
talks about the important
issue of inclusion of
special children in
spiritist institutions. The
interview is one of the
highlights of this edition.
Another highlight is the
special article
"Roustaing and Ubaldi: the
strange union of schismatic
forces", authored by
Leonardo Marmo Moreira, who
understands that
Roustainguism, also known as
Rustenism, remains the
biggest scourge of the
Brazilian Spiritist
movement.
Marcel Battaglia focuses on
the work being carried out
in Londrina by the Meimei
Spiritist Center, which,
besides its doctrinal
activities, performs
important work of social
promotion. The story is also
one of the highlights of
this edition.

On July 26th is
celebrated within the

tribute to the launch on
this same date in 1869 of
the first Spiritist
periodical published in
Portuguese - Echo from
Beyond the Tomb, created
by the pioneer Luis Olímpio
Telles de Menezes, who had
founded years before the
Family Group of Spiritism,
the first spiritist center
in Brazil.
