A chat with Miguel de
Jesus Sardano

The title of this week's editorial is "We are not here to ride". This article addresses two purposes of our passage through the material plane.

In an interview with our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara, Miguel de Jesus Sardano, who lives in Santo Andre (a city in the state of Sao Paulo), tells us how Santo Andre's Mega Fair of the Book began. He also tells us how his friendship with Divaldo Franco started and became stronger along the years. This interview is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the article "Depression, unorthodox spiritual vision", and Adilson Lorente, from Sao Paulo, is the author. The article was divided into two parts. The last and final part will be published on Sunday's edition.

The International Journal of Spiritism, founded by Cairbar Schutel on February 15, 1925, is now celebrating 90 years of successful and uninterrupted activity, as shown in a particular matter that is also a highlight of the week.
