The advances of Kardec's ideas in respect to his time
 

This week’s editorial, What happened to the splendor of ancient Greece?, analyzes why certain civilizations that marked their name in world history, like Egypt and Greece, disappeared or lost their splendor. 

Leontina Laurentino, spiritist since adolescence, was born and resides in Mogi Mirim, São Paulo. A retired teacher, working at Apostle Paul Spiritist Center, she is the coordinator of the Department of Doctrine and Mediumistic Meetings and is also involved in services such as passes and fraternal assistance. In an interview with our collaborator Orson Peter Carrara, she tells us about the spiritist movement in her city. The interview is one of the highlights of the week. 

Another highlight is the special article entitled Kardec and his vision of the future, authored by our colleague José Passini, from Juiz de Fora, MG. According to Passini, it is necessary to think about Kardec in his own time "in order to assess his advances with respect to the prevailing thought at the time." 

Read also in this issue about the seminar organized by the AME- Ribeirão Preto on November 26. The article, by Giovana Campos, is also one of the highlights of this edition.
